Title: Hilary Mantel dies
Post by: CLKD on September 23, 2022, 04:45:40 PM
HarperCollins said Dame Hilary had died "suddenly yet peacefully" on Thursday, surrounded by family and friends, after suffering a stroke.

Wolf Hall was a fictional account of Thomas Cromwell's rise to power in the court of Henry VIII.

The third and final book in the series, The Mirror and the Light, was published in 2020 to much critical acclaim, became a fiction best-seller and was longlisted for The Booker Prize 2020.

Her death is a great loss to literature and of course to her family and friends.

Her books were adapted well into tv dramas and were very enjoyable along with being informative.

Very sad but aftermath and recovery from a stroke might have been especially cruel for her.
