Giving up the ghost : a memoir

Mantel, Hilary, 1952-2010
Books
In her memoir of early life, Hilary Mantel describes a disappearing parent and a meeting with evil in a moorland village. She revisits the secret rooms of haunted houses and meets unborn children. Plagued by misdiagnosed illness, dragged off her chosen path, she has to find herself in a thicket of words; she explains how and why she turned her losses to gains and became a prize-winning writer.
