A review by bobthebookerer
A Memoir of My Former Self by Hilary Mantel
5.0
After her passing, it was beautiful to see so many people celebrating the power of her words, and her incredible ability to write passionately about almost any topic.
This selection of writings ranges everything from travel and history to her personal meditations on health and who she is. And within these pieces, we see how well-read and travelled she was, often bringing together stories from all corners of the world and historical tales from different centuries to make a point about something else entirely. Her writing is a gift, and it was great to hear her voice again.
I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
