Just kicked off with bring up the Bodies having had a wee Mantel break after being floored by Wolf Hall. Initial thoughts are that it's a little less willfully imprenetrable than WH. Could just be early stages exposition and re-establishing characters though. Am already hooked. Simile of the day: "When Stephen comes into a room, the furnishings shrink from him. Chairs scuttle backwards. Joint stools flatten themselves like pissing bitches".
Auster is boss.
