In these ten bracingly subversive tales, all her gifts of characterisation and observation are fully engaged, summoning forth the horrors so often concealed behind everyday fac?ades. Childhood cruelty is played out behind the bushes in 'Comma'; nurses clash in 'Harley Street' over something more than professional differences; and in the title story, staying in for the plumber turns into an ambiguous and potentially deadly waiting game.Whether set in a claustrophobic Saudi Arabian flat or on a precarious mountain road in Greece, these stories share an insight into the darkest recesses of the spirit. Displaying all of Mantel's unmistakable style and wit, they reveal a great writer at the peak of her powers. 610 $aFiction 610 $aLiterature and fiction 676 $a823/.914 700 $aMantel$b Hilary$f1952-2022$01452117 702 $aCarr$b Jane$4oth 906 $aAUDIO 912 $a9910148780003321 996 $aAssassination of Margaret Thatcher$93654827 997 $aUNINA
