I want to start Wolf Hall, but I’ve heard the writing can be very confusing and it can be hard to differentiate between who is speaking. Can you confirm?

Her style is definitely unique, for the first few chapters it can be a bit overwhelming to try to keep up with who is saying what, but by the middle of the book I was more than accustomed to it.

If you’re worried about this I highly recommend the audiobook version. The reader is a professional actor who was in the wolf hall plays and was hand chosen by the author. He does slight voices to help differentiate between the characters.

I’m not a fan of audiobooks as I can read significantly faster than they speak, but thanks for the recommendation nonetheless. I may end up listening to it if I find the reading confusing.
