Breve biografia: Hilary Thompson was the eldest of three children in a Catholic English family of Irish descent. She took the surname of Mantel from her unofficial stepfather after her parents separated. After university, she worked as a social worker at a geriatric hospital and as a sales assistant in a department store. In 1972, she married Gerald McEwen, a geologist, and the couple later lived in Botswana and Saudi Arabia. She published a memoir of this time, "Someone to Disturb," in the London Review of Books. Her first novel, Every Day is Mother's Day, was published in 1985. Returning to England, Hilary Mantel became the film critic of The Spectator and a reviewer for a number of newspapers and magazines in Britain and the USA.

Recensioni

La storia segreta della rivoluzione: 1 di Hilary Mantel

La rivoluzione francese mi ha sempre interessata. Il modo in cui l'autrice ha scelto di raccontarla è sicuramente nuovo ma non c'è empatia con i personaggi. Un libro freddo.

La storia segreta della rivoluzione – vol. 1 di Hilary Mantel

Per essere il suo primo libro, mi pare sia un inizio molto incoraggiante! Si legge piacevolmente! Il romanzo non entra nei dettagli politici, ma descrive piuttosto il carattere di alcuni personaggi principali della rivoluzione.
