The Mirror and the Light is an upcoming historical novel by Hilary Mantel, the final part of a planned trilogy (including Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies) charting the rise and fall of Thomas Cromwell, the powerful minister in the court of King Henry VIII.
The Mirror and the Light is expected to cover the last four years of Cromwell's life, from the execution of Anne Boleyn (1536) to Cromwell's execution (1540).
In July 2017 The Guardian reported that "The book may not appear until 2019, said Mantel, who denied that her failure to finish the novel to schedule was a sign of reluctance to write about Cromwell’s execution in July 1540."
