Very sad to hear of the death of Hilary Mantel. Her Wolf Hall trilogy is as good as historical fiction gets: richly political, personal and poetic.

[4th Estate Books @4thEstateBooks]

We are heartbroken at the death of our beloved author, Dame Hilary Mantel, and our thoughts are with her friends and family, especially her husband, Gerald. This is a devastating loss and we can only be grateful she left us with such a magnificent body of work.
