Kort biografi: 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.

Recensioner

Wolf Hall av Hilary Mantel

Svårläst! Besvärligast är Mantels bruk av det personliga pronomenet "han". Så småningom förstår man att hon i regel avser Cromwell, när det inte framgår av sammanhanget. Men det är ingen regel utan undantag. En stor del av texten utgörs av dialoger och man får ofta backa i texten för att förstå vem som säger vad. Det är också svårt att hålla det stora persongalleriet i minnet trots personförteckning, som dock inte är fullständig. För övrigt är språket mustigt och innehållsrikt. Man känner sig snart hemma i 1500-tals-världen och vill gärna veta var de olika husen, slotten och platserna är placerade på kartan. Ibland blir handlingen trög, kanske tack vare all konversation, men ibland riktigt spännande.… (mer)

Wolf Hall av Hilary Mantel

Ingen underhållande läsupplevelse. Alldeles för rörigt skriven och svårläst vilket tar allt nöje ur läsningen. Kanske skulle det vara lättare att hänga med om man var mera insatt i den engelska historien från tiden, men jag tror tyvärr inte boken skulle bli bättre för det, den är alldeles för rörigt skriven.
