A Place of Greater Safety

Hilary Mantel

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Kathryn Schulz recommends it
Uh, I would like to encourage you and your listeners at some point to go read A Place of Greater Safety, which is the book Hillary Mantel wrote before turning to Thomas Cromwell and his compatriots. Um, it is about the French Revolution. It is 800 pages long, incredibly undisiplined, uh, absolutely unruly and wildly great to read.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
