Why should it take three months to read a novel? Even at 600 pages and with a peculiar prose style, Wolf Hall should not have taken that long, but I was constantly finding a reason to put it aside. The rise of Thomas Cromwell is a story not much told, and the subplot of Thomas More's downfall is a useful counterpoint to the Robert Bolt treatment, but even so, it's an uncongenial book.
