‘Provocative’ new book to showcase four decades of Hilary

The boom in British memoir writing means, inevitably, that precedents have been established, problems flagged, conversations set in play. Mantel is smart to these concerns, aware of the intellectual tangles and the technical difficulties involved in inserting herself in an already crowded genre. She muses on the temptation to use charm to make herself lovely and works hard at the problem of how to inhabit the mind of a child as well as an older self without lurching clumsily between the two. She is wise, too, to the expectations of the genre, balking at those points when her life does not quite fit the template (there is an incident, when she is seven, of almost unwritable awfulness, but it has nothing to do with the sexual abuse that Mantel assumes we will, as practised readers, be expecting). Still, none of this knowingness gets in the way of the writing, which is simply astonishing - clear and true. In Giving Up the Ghost Mantel has finally booted out all those shadowy presences that have jostled her all her life, and written the one character whom she feared she never could - herself.

Her brilliant Wolf Hall trilogy was the crowning achievement in an outstanding body of work. Rest in peace.” As soon as I put my foot outdoors, everyone was asking me what was happening, like: “Who sleeps where?” ‘I did not know why they were asking this question so I learnt to not give anything away. I did not lie on their behalf, I just stayed silent.’ She has more recent ones, too; of the child she craved but never had, of the father who taught her chess on a small travel set and then disappeared from her life for ever.
