Birthdays

On this day, July 6, in 1952, Hilary Mantel was born in Glossop, Derbyshire, UK. Although she appeared to burst on the scene in 2009 when her historical novel Wolf Hall was awarded the Man Booker Prize, she already had 9 other books under her belt and had been the recipient of many other literary honors prior to its publication. Still, with Wolf Hall becoming an acclaimed PBS television series, and with its follow up, Bring Up the Bodies also winning a Man Booker Prize (in 2012, making Ms. Mantel the first woman to win two of those prestigious awards), her name will most likely be linked with Thomas Cromwell for the rest of her career. The third book in the historical trilogy, titled The Mirror and the Light, was published earlier this year. Today, Ms. Mantel turns 69.
