Among her other qualities the much-missed Hilary Mantel was very supportive of other writers and often reached out to them. In this piece Miranda Miller writes about her friendship with Mantel.

It is weak to be anecdotal. It is wise to conceal the past even if there is nothing to conceal. A man's power is in the half-light, in the half-seen movements of his hand and the unguessed-at expression of his face. It is the absence of facts that frightens people: the gap you open, into which they pour their fears, fantasies, desires.

“Rouge, also, had a peculiar function as caste mark. It was applied with a heavy hand and in a circular pattern. It was worn most lavishly on the day of a woman’s debut, when she was obliged to simulate the flush of the contrived orgasm bestowed by royal favour.”

"Christ, he thinks, by my age I ought to know. You don't get on by being original. You don't get on by being bright. You don't get on by being strong. You get on by being a subtle crook". - Thomas Cromwell per Hilary Mantel in Wolf Hall

After 68 hours spread over two months, I've reached the Epitaph of #HilaryMantel's #WolfHall trilogy about the life of #ThomasCromwell, The Mirror and the Light, read by #BenMiles.
I was amazed when Mantel revealed in a Big Weekend of Books interview with ABC RN's The Bookshelf's Kate Evans (link below) how she wrote the ending of this novel after writing the opening of the first novel, Wolf Hall, because she knew that would be the arc of her story about Cromwell.
And now, I'm at the end of her trilogy, and I feel sad about it. Partly it's a human reaction to the endpoint of Cromwell's "arc" (despite his brutal reputation). But most of all, I will miss Hilary Mantel's writing, so wonderfully voiced by Ben Miles.
So if you have a spare 68 hours, I highly recommend this unabridged audiobook adaptation. And listening to The Bookshelf Pod Extra episode!
