Honourable mention for My Ántonia (which was surprisingly good), but Wolf Hall was great. I was a little sceptical at first - not all historical novels of major protagonists work. But this was outstanding, and fully deserving of its Booker. It even managed to sustain an interesting plot, which is some achievement given we know how the story ends.
