The best-selling author of the Wolf Hall trilogy, Dame Hilary Mantel, has died aged 70. Our tribute to the late author: RIPHilaryMantel WolfHall
“Gerald [McEwan, Mantel’s geologist husband] and I are moving to West Cork so I am beginning to fill the gaps in my knowledge. This area is thick with history, from pre-history onwards, and I am looking forward to reading more. It’s the right time for us to move. This year we are both 70, so it is now or never! This is where I will fire up my new projects.These were the words of author Hilary Mantel when we interviewed her for “Bedside Table”, in our June issue.
Her death, from a stroke, was confirmed by Bill Hamilton, her long-time literary agent, who paid this tribute: “Her wit, stylistic daring, creative ambition and phenomenal historical insight mark her out as one of the greatest English novelists of this century. She will be greatly missed.” He added, “She had so many great novels ahead of her,” revealing that Mantel had been working on one at the time of her death.
