Mantel, Hilary (4 July 2017). "Can These Bones Live?". Reith Lectures. BBC Radio 4 . Retrieved 11 October 2022. She has always existed on the margins: of her family, of her university group, of the expatriate communities in the Middle East and Africa, of literary London. The experience of being not quite at home, even when at home, has contributed to her life not only as a writer but as a reader. It is evident from her conversation, the bright life with which she invests her remarks about books and writers, that reading holds the same sort of status for her as writing. "If you grew up, as I did, a northerner, a Catholic, from an Irish family, you soon began to realise that there was this thing called 'Englishness', but it wasn't necessarily what you possessed. It was located somewhere else. It had different vowels. One of the things that engaged me right away about Kidnapped was that it wasn't written in 'English' English. I was not a Scot, but I could hear the language of Davie and Alan better than I could hear the dialect, the rhythms, of southern England."

Hilary Mary Thompson was born on 6 July 1952 in Glossop, Derbyshire, [7] the eldest of three children, with two younger brothers, and raised as a Roman Catholic [8] in the mill village of Hadfield, where she attended StCharles Roman Catholic Primary School.

In a 2013 interview with The Daily Telegraph, Mantel stated: "I think that nowadays the Catholic Church is not an institution for respectable people. [...] When I was a child I wondered why priests and nuns were not nicer people. I thought that they were amongst the worst people I knew." [8] These statements, as well as the themes explored in her earlier novel Fludd, led the Catholic bishop Mark O'Toole to comment: "There is an anti-Catholic thread there, there is no doubt about it. Wolf Hall is not neutral." [73] List of works [ edit ] Novels [ edit ] a b c Brown, Mark (6 October 2009). "Booker prize goes to Hilary Mantel for Wolf Hall". The Guardian. London . Retrieved 4 May 2010. The ventral tegmental area is part of what is known as the brain’s reward circuit, which, coincidentally, was discovered by Olds’s father, James, when she was 7 years old. This circuit is considered to be a primitive neural network, meaning it is evolutionarily old; it links with the nucleus accumbens. Some of the other structures that contribute to the reward circuit—the amygdala, the hippocampus, and the prefrontal cortex—are exceptionally sensitive to (and reinforcing of) behavior that induces pleasure, such as sex, food consumption, and drug use.
