I listened.

Engaging historical drama, vicious and saucy and wry, and I still just don't care about Tudor England.

In WOLF HALL, one of our very best writers brings the opulent, brutal world of the Tudors to bloody, glittering life. It is the backdrop to the rise and rise of Thomas Cromwell: lowborn boy, charmer, bully, master of deadly intrigue. and, finally, most powerful of Henry V Ill's courtiers. --back cover
Jim Brown reviewed Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
When do you consult Wikipedia, and when do you just let the historical detail wash over you?
I listened to this, and I probably couldn't imagine reading it. Listening meant that I could be at peace with missing some of the historical details. If I head, I probably wouldn't stopped too often to read Wikipedia.
It is astounding to think about the research that was required for this book.
