A Son of the Rock

I was shocked to hear of the death of Hilary Mantel on the radio yesterday.

I knew she had had some health problems which were not life threatening. It seems though she had a stroke a few days before she died from which she could not recover.

Her great “Wolf Hall” trilogy on the life of Thomas Cromwell is likely the work for which she will be most remembered but a light and a mirror have now gone out on the world.

There are still some of her books I have yet to read which I can look forward to. See links below to my reviews of her works.

A Place of Greater Safety

The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher

The Mirror and the Light

Bring Up the Bodies

Wolf Hall

Hilary Mary Mantel (née Thompson;) 6/7/1952 – 22/92022. So it goes.
