- Geboren: 6. Juli 1952 in Glossop, Derbyshire (Großbritannien)
- Man Booker Prize: 2009
Mantel war die Favoritin der Buchmacher für den Man Booker Prize 2009. Wie die BBC
berichtete, war die Entscheidung zwar nicht einstimmig, aber:
Our decision was based on the sheer bigness of the book. The
boldness of its narrative, its scene setting. [...] We thought it
was an extraordinary piece of story-telling.
