Hilary Mantel, celebrated author of Wolf Hall, dies aged 70 Hilary Mantel, celebrated author of Wolf Hall, dies aged 70

Mantel's first novel, Every Day Is Mother's Day, was published in 1985, and its sequel, Vacant Possession, a year later. After returning to England, she became the film critic of The Spectator, a position she held from 1987 to 1991, [22] and a reviewer for a number of papers and magazines in Britain and the United States. Marshall, Alex; Alter, Alexandra (23 September 2022). "Hilary Mantel, Prize-Winning Author of Historical Fiction, Dies at 70". The New York Times. Endometriosis gives Mantel not only a new personality, dark and jittery, but a new body, too. She is unsparing about the horrible oddness of spending the first 25 years of her life as a sylph and the next 25 obliged to wear floating tents to cover her galloping fatness. She keeps a sharp eye out for the reactions of others: the grim satisfaction of a plump female consultant who tells her "now you know what it's like for the rest of us" and the cowardly politeness of a newspaper interviewer who writes her up as "apple-cheeked". It is just one more example of the way Mantel uncouples the usual steady relationship between the inner and outer worlds, in the process opening up a space where ghosts can settle.

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands ditches her usual colourful attire for beige coat as she joins husband Willem-Alexander conversation about societal issues While historians are sometimes described as frustrated novelists, Hilary Mantel describes herself as a frustrated historian: ‘I only became a novelist because I thought I had missed my chance to ­become a historian. So it began as second best.’ When she was writing Wolf Hall, she created a card index system to ensure her cast of characters were in the right place at the right time. But this does not mean that Mantel writes like a historian. Mantel’s fiction captures the classic contradiction of the historical novel: searching for veracity, truth and authenticity while all the time questioning what we thought we knew about the past. Scotland’s first minister Nicola Sturgeon said: “It is impossible to overstate the significance of the literary legacy Hilary Mantel leaves behind. Her brilliant Wolf Hall trilogy was the crowning achievement in an outstanding body of work. Rest in peace.” Staff writer (2 January 2013). "Hilary Mantel wins 2012 Costa novel prize". BBC News .
