The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher
Hilary Mantel2014

Nothing is as it seems. Childhood cruelty is played out behind bushes. Both the living and the dead commute to Waterloo station. Staying in for the plumber turns into a potentially fatal waiting game. And in 'The School of English', panic grips a household behind the stucco façade of a Notting Hill mansion. All that is clear and constant in these bracingly subversive stories is Hilary Mantel's distinctive style and wit.
