But Cromwell’s status in this novel is slowly transforming from the indispensable secretary of the first two volumes, to the hapless prisoner awaiting execution. As always, Cromwell must insert himself between the king and his worst impulses. Like Thomas More, Mary Tudor, the king’s daughter, is in danger of losing her head if she refuses to swear the oath confirming Henry as head of the English church. In between, Mantel dramatizes England’s struggle with its newly forming religious identity (anti-papist yet also eschewing Luther) and the attendant political manoeuvrings that this entails. It begins with the aftermath of Anne Boleyn’s beheading and concludes with Cromwell’s own execution. The Mirror and the Light is the final volume of Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall Trilogy. 5/22/2023 0 Comments Sir mario testino taschenIn SIR the influential photographer presents over 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men.įeaturing an essay by Pierre Borhan, an interview with Patrick Kinmonth, and many previously unpublished works from Testino’s archive of thousands, this book traces the evolution of male identity over the past three decades.

The pace picks up when Remy and Alicia join Jen, along with her boyfriend and a few other friends, on a weekend surfing trip to Montauk. Alicia also role-plays as Jen as part of their sexual relationship (“What would you do if Jen were in the shower right now?” Alicia calls from the bathroom). The couple receives alerts whenever Jen posts on social media, and they spend most of their time drinking and analyzing Jen’s posts. Remy and Alicia’s relationship revolves around the beautiful and confident Jen, a former colleague of Remy’s, who runs her own jewelry business. Remy and Alicia are a barely functioning 30-something couple who both work as servers in different restaurants and share a Brooklyn apartment with a roommate.
