Such terribly sad news. It is impossible to overstate the significance of the literary legacy Hilary Mantel leaves behind. Her brilliant Wolf Hall trilogy was the crowning achievement in an outstanding body of work. Rest in peace. https://t.co/P4Dpe83Pr5

Enright at her lyrical, storytelling best. A portrait of a family living with the legacy, years after his death, of the abuse and neglect of their patriarch – a famous Irish poet... It’s a story of relationships, trauma, self-discovery and the healing powers of art and nature.

The effect is to make the reader feel that Hilary Mantel is with us still, communicating from beyond the grave – and that we may now be seeing something that has hitherto been hidden.

A couple of recommendations for #BookLoversDay. I’ve recently finished The Nickel Boys by @colsonwhitehead - a searingly powerful story about the impact of racism and abuse. And next, in memory of the great Toni Morrison, I’ll be rereading her wonderful classic The Bluest Eye. https://t.co/Ppt091YeAK
