Hilary Mantel in conversation: British Library, 27th May 2009
I've just read Hilary Mantel's latest novel, Wolf Hall, and enjoyed it very much: she makes Thomas Cromwell a sympathetic character despite his disinclination to talk about, or especially like, himself. This event saw her reading from the novel, and in conversation with Erica Wagner (Literary Editor of The Times), and historian Derek Wilson.
