Wow!That’s it. I’m done with Hilary Mantel’s Cromwell trilogy. It’s astounding.THE MIRROR & THE LIGHT begins seconds after the beheading of Anne Boleyn. This is a seductive book. It pulls you in with its stylized writing and intriguing plot development, and then for 757 pages it does not let you go. This novel is about Thomas Cromwell, but Hilary Mantel is also a star of this show. I was aware of her authorial presence all along while still being immersed in the world she created with her words. I am not sure how to explain it, but it’s there, and it’s a good thing.This novel is haunted by ghosts. Ms. Mantel threads seamlessly into the narrative remembrances and effects of Thomas More, Cardinal Wolsey, Cromwell’s father Walter (a terrifying presence), Katherine of Aragorn, Anne Boleyn (and the many that went down with her) and others into a mosaic of the past and present that is always under the surface and constantly affecting the decisions and actions of Thomas Cromwell in the present. At one point he muses, “The dead are more faithful than the living. For better or worse, they do not leave you. They last out the longest night.” Without being obvious or intrusive one is constantly reminded in this book just how much the past influences the present.Mantel depicts Cromwell’s subtle changes with efficiency and nuance. As you are reading you realize they have crept up on you and have been fully integrated into your understanding of the character, but you would be hard pressed to point out when this happened.One thing the close reader of this text will appreciate is all of the little hints that Mantel drops throughout the book that will play larger roles as Cromwell’s descent begins in full swing. Just as in this novel’s predecessors her ability to weave these things seamlessly into the narrative is indicative of reality. Most things we do/say don’t have significance at the time they happen. It is later that their importance develops.Quotes:• “But if you cannot speak the truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?”• “Go forward, sir. It’s the one direction God permits.”• “Those who think a heart cannot break have led blessed and sheltered lives.”• “In obedience there is strength and tranquility.”• “But it is the present you must reckon with.”• “You can persuade the quick to think again, but you cannot remake your reputation with the dead.”• “…this is what I know: right is what you can get away with, and wrong is what they whip you for.”• “Sudden pleasure afflicts like sudden pain, and leaves you dizzy, numb.”• “We never know how to take it when our life begins to be charmed.”• “I can see why good men want to believe that Christ is coming. We want His justice, when justice seems so long delayed.”• “Even the worst poets, from time to time, hit on a felicitous phrasing.”• “You cannot greet the world in the morning with anything less than ferocity, or by evening you will be destroyed.”The intricacy with which Mantel depicts the shift of Cromwell’s fall from the graces of Henry VIII is well done. Like most relationships where the bloom falls off the rose, the drifting apart sneaks up on them (seemingly) suddenly, and then appears to take forever to fully disintegrate.Having completed the three novels in this series, I can’t say that I preferred one over the other, and I would not attempt to rank them. All I can say is that taken as a unit they form a triumphant whole! It is a brilliant opus that reeks of authenticity, humanity, and much more.Towards the end of the novel Cromwell realizes that “He must traverse his whole life, waking and sleeping: you cannot leave your memories alone in the world for other men to own.” Ms. Mantel is sadly gone now, there will be no more books from her. But I’m glad she left these bits for us to own.
