A review by shellydennison
A Memoir of My Former Self: A Life in Writing by Hilary Mantel

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

The texts of Mantel's 2017 Reith Lectures on writing historical fiction make this volume worth the price of admission by themselves but the whole collection is thoroughly absorbing. Mantel is incapable of writing a dull sentence so even reviews of films or books I wouldn't choose to watch are engaging.
