The Booker prize-winning author of the Wolf Hall trilogy, Dame Hilary Mantel, has died aged 70, her publisher HarperCollins has confirmed.

Mantel was regarded as one of the greatest English-language novelists of this century, winning the Booker Prize twice, for Wolf Hall and its sequel, Bring Up the Bodies, which also won the 2012 Costa book of the year.

The conclusion to her groundbreaking Wolf Hall trilogy, The Mirror & the Light, was published in 2020 to huge critical acclaim, became an instant Sunday Times bestseller and was longlisted for the Booker prize.

HarperCollins confirmed she had died on Thursday “suddenly yet peacefully”, surrounded by close family and friends.



Wow :'( . I've never read any of the Wolf Hall trilogy, but nevertheless, it's very sad to see she's died so suddenly :( .

My condolences to her friends and family.

What the—?!

That is quite shocking to hear, really. I've read that trilogy – finishing the last one this year – and rather enjoyed them. It does seem so sudden...

R.I.P., Hilary Mantel.
