About this title: Novelist Hilary Mantel writes about her life in terms of the ghosts who have entered it, beginning with a terrifying experience when she was a child and ending with the cottage in Norfolk haunted by the ghost of her stepfather. In addition to ghosts, her life has been populated with much more: eccentric relatives, incompetent doctors, faithless lovers, and many, many books. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.
