As soon as I put my foot outdoors, everyone was asking me what was happening, like: “Who sleeps where?” ‘I did not know why they were asking this question so I learnt to not give anything away. I did not lie on their behalf, I just stayed silent.’ No ribbon cutting royal here! Queen Maxima of The Netherlands meets Kenya's Minster of Finance as she... It is Wolf Hall’s skilful vacillation between past and present, interior and external narration, public and private, that allows Thomas Cromwell’s beginnings to become more than mere affirmations of what the man will become.
