The Mirror and the Light (audiobook)
I was about to say that this 38-hour audiobook was the longest I have ever listened to, but then I remembered The Count of Monte Cristo, which was 46 hours, so. This audiobook was the second-longest I have ever listened to.
It felt a bit strange to be diving into this hot on the heels of the recent TV series, which portrayed the events of this book in its six episodes. But then, a 38-hour listen might contain things that weren’t included in the 6 hours of television… maybe?
First of all, garlands of roses to Ben Miles. Whatever your feelings about Mark Rylance, who played Cromwell on TV, have no fear that Ben Miles, who played him on stage, gives a lesser performance as the reader/narrator here. Furthermore, he also knocks Henry the King out of the park, and Norfolk, and Wriothesley (Call Me) and Rafe, and Stephen Gardiner, and so on. Absolutely brilliant in every respect, and when I think about the hours he put in reading these three books, my mind boggles.
I think these audiobooks are both “unabridged” but also versioned for audiobook purposes. I’m not sure. There’s a chat at the end, between Miles and the late author, but to be honest I found Mantel’s squeaky, creaky voice offputting after 38 hours of Ben Miles, so I didn’t listen. But she says something at the beginning about how she’s worked on the audiobook versions (and had selected Miles as the reader).
One feature that stood out for me across all three books was the way that Mantel used pronouns (and changed her use of pronouns). In Wolf Hall, the first book, she uses he a lot, to refer (usually) to Cromwell, the point of view character, and (inevitably) any other he who is in the picture. I think this was a deliberate stylistic choice, putting us solidly within her hero’s viewpoint and internal monologue. But it could be confusing at times, because you didn’t always know which he was the pronoun’s referent. A kind of alienating effect I suppose, that gave Wolf Hall it’s literary edge.
But then in the subsequent books (the audiobook versions, at least), we get a lot of he, Cromwell, thinks… which feels like a sop to all those who complained about the pronouns in Wolf Hall. Yes, they are out there, and so are Mantel’s defenders. Personally, I liked the feature and the way it worked. But, as I said, by the time you get to The Mirror and the Light, it’s he, Cromwell, or he, Lord Privy seal… I found this compromise in style more jarring than the original, unadorned, pronoun use.
Within these pages, Cromwell reaches the acme of his career. But if the mountain had been a long steep climb on the way up, the way down turns out to be a precipitous drop off a cliff. One day he is Earl of Essex and Lord Great Chamberlain, and the next his enemies come for him and he is in the Tower. That it really happened is hard to believe. If you want to know how betrayal feels, read this book.
And while all this is in the TV series, you do feel it much more in the book because there is more detail, and there are things that were skipped over for the purposes of the visual medium. The main thing I think the TV show missed out were the various other candidates for Henry’s fourth* wife. His disappointment in missing out on one in particular most probably fed into the disdain he showed for Anne of Cleves, which was just the latest in several failures he laid at Cromwell’s door.
By all accounts, Mantel dreaded writing about Cromwell’s downfall and death. It’s handled slightly differently here than it was on TV. Much of what is relayed visually on television is internal monologue. I love the words that Mantel put into the mouth of Cromwell’s most loyal French servant, Christophe, at the end. His curse of Henry is probably close to what happened. As Mantel mentioned at the beginnning of the chat at the end, Henry lived seven more years, in pain the whole time. He was just 55, which is young for someone of such wealth and privilege. Bloody Norfolk died in his bed at 80-odd.
Anyway: superb. Bought it for the long journey to France over Christmas, and it has kept me company then and since. I have no idea what to listen to next.

*This business of “Henry VIII and his six wives” — how did it ever take hold? If we take him at his word, the first marriage doesn’t count, and nor does the fourth. If we approach this from a purely technical viewpoint, his second so-called marriage was invalid and bigamous, and his fourth wasn’t consumated. Knowing what we know about the state of his health, would it be a surprise to learn that his fifth and sixth marriages weren’t consumated, either? So at best, he had four “wives” — and maybe it was only the two.

Another court challenge to #AntiProtest laws -- this one in the #UK
High court challenge to ‘constitutionally unprecedented’ UK anti-protest law
#NationalCouncilForCivilLiberties brings civil case to quash ‘back-door’ regulations making it easier for police to stop protests
By Daniel Boffey, November 29, 2023
"A new law making it easier for the police to put conditions on peaceful protests is 'constitutionally unprecedented' and unlawful, according to a claim filed at the high court in #London.
"The legal challenge from the National Council for Civil Liberties, also known as #Liberty, is seeking to have the controversial regulations quashed, given what the advocacy group describes as the #draconian consequences for fundamental rights.
"The former home secretary Suella Braverman used the government’s so-called #HenryVIII powers to lower the threshold for the police to impose restrictions on protests, allowing it where there is merely a 'more than minor' hindrance on people’s daily lives.
"The change, through a statutory instrument in the Lords, came after the chamber rejected the same change, proposed months earlier in a heavily debated and scrutinised new public order act. Peers do not by convention normally vote down statutory instruments.
"The manner in which the regulations are said to have been forced through parliament is said by lawyers acting for Liberty to 'represent a constitutionally unprecedented attempt on the part of the executive to achieve by the back door through delegated legislation what it was unable to achieve by the front'.
"There had been 'no reasonable justification' provided for using a statutory instrument to change the law, it is claimed, and there was inadequate consultation of those who would be affected.
"Katy Watts, a lawyer at Liberty, said: 'We all want to live in a society where our government respect the rules, but time and again this government has done the opposite. The previous home secretary’s actions to sneak in rejected laws through the back door are a particularly egregious example of this.
“The wording of the government’s new law is so vague that anything deemed by police to cause ‘more than a minor’ disturbance could have restrictions imposed upon it. This has serious implications for everyone’s right to stand up for the things they believe in.
“These laws had been thrown out by parliament just months before the then home secretary introduced them. It’s shocking to see the government so flagrantly disregard our vital democratic checks and balances, and we’re determined not to let this stand.
“Our legal action is intended to stop this government’s flouting of the law in its tracks, and make sure that nobody – including our politicians – is above the law. It’s vital that they are not allowed to get away with it.'
"In the protest regulations brought into force on 14 June, 'more than minor' hindrances or delays are included in the definition of 'serious disruption' that is the threshold at which the police may impose conditions on a protest under the public order act 1986.
"The police are also allowed to take into account the cumulative effect of repeated protests when deciding whether the threshold had been met.
"The government has said the regulations are an attempt to deal with the activities of #JustStopOil and #ExtinctionRebellion, and that the language around 'more than minor' hindrances mirrors that in other new offences of ‘locking-on’ and ‘tunnelling’.
"The changes were nevertheless rejected by the House of Lords in February by 254 votes to 240 when they were put forward as amendments during the passage of the public order bill 2023, only for them to re-emerge in a statutory instrument.
"Regulations brought in by such means, known a Henry VIII powers in reference to the monarch’s preference for legislating directly by proclamation, are subject to minimal parliamentary scrutiny and decided on an 'all or nothing' basis without amendments.
"Between 1950 and 2017, only 0.01% of the total number of such instruments laid before parliament were rejected.
"Liberty’s legal challenge refers to supporting comments by the Lords’ secondary legislation scrutiny committee, which had been sufficiently alarmed to warn peers of 'constitutional issues' and told them it was 'not aware of any examples of this approach being taken in the past'.
"The legal challenge said it could not be right that parliament was 'treated as having provided [the] executive with a blank cheque to lower the applicable threshold by the back door and thereby sanction greater police interference with public assemblies and protests'.
"The government’s consultation is also said to have been limited to a roundtable chaired by the prime minister with the National Police Chiefs’ Council, the Metropolitan police service and the police and crime commissioners of the police forces whose areas include the M25 and national highways.
"A Home Office spokesperson said: 'The right to protest is a fundamental part of our democracy but we must also protect the law-abiding majority’s right to go about their daily lives.
"'That is why legislation is in place to clarify the definition of serious disruption and give police the confidence they need to clear roads quickly.
"'This legislation was voted on by both the House of Commons and House of Lords, following proper parliamentary procedure.'"
