Book Review:
Hilary Mantel's ''The Mirror & the Light'' is the triumphant conclusion to her Man Booker Prize-winning trilogy. It traces the final years of Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith's son who rose to be Henry VIII's chief minister. The book opens with Anne Boleyn's execution and follows Cromwell through his continuing rise and eventual fall. It's a defining portrait of predator and prey, a ferocious contest between royal will and a common man's vision. A masterpiece of historical fiction.
