The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher

by Hilary Mantel
The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher
The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher

Darkly witty tales reveal concealed horrors, spirit recesses.

If you're drawn to the unexpected twists of Margaret Atwood or the psychological depths of Joyce Carol Oates, Mantel's "The Assassination Of Margaret Thatcher" will likely enthrall you. Each story in this collection is a window into the complexities of human nature, written with a piercing wit that Mantel is renowned for. It's not just about the chilling plots – it's how Mantel manages to get under your skin, making everyday settings feel bizarrely unsettling. This book could be the perfect companion for a reader looking for short stories that pack a punch and linger long after the last page is turned.

Description

HILARY MANTEL is one of Britain's most accomplished and acclaimed writers. In these ten bracingly transgressive tales, all her gifts of characterisation and observation are fully engaged, ushering concealed horrors into the light. Childhood cruelty is played out behind the bushes in 'Comma'; nurses clash in 'Harley Street' over something more than professional differences; and in the title story, staying in for the plumber turns into an ambiguous and potentially deadly waiting game. Whether set in a claustrophobic Saudi Arabian flat or on a precarious mountain road on a Greek island, these stories share an insight into the darkest recesses of the spirit. Displaying all of Mantel's unmistakable style and wit, they reveal a great writer at the peak of her powers.
