She wrote a book called “Wolf Hall” about Cromwell. Personally, I couldn’t get through it.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that a Piscataway Princess had trouble with this book. OK it was kinda psychotic in that you never really know who is talking or narrating about what or whom.

Try it again, but use firewater bought from an unscrupulous Indian Agent before each chapter. Her anti-Catholic diatribe notwithstanding, she was really nice to Cardinal Wolsey in the book.

OK, I loved this book, OK?

Unlike Pocahantas Warren, I thoroughly checked my ancestry and have found out that I’m pure Lanipe - my family was dredged out of the mud in nearby Manalapan, New Jersey. So please stop refering to me as one of those tacky Piscataways!

Now, on to our literary history with “Wolf Hall.” The fact that there are only pronouns used to define characters defeated me by the 3rd chapter. Why I ever consented to buy this book is beyond me. But then I fell for Pat Barker’s prize-winning trilogy on WWI, too. But they look very nice on my bookshelves - it gives the impression I’m intelligent.
