A comically sinister tale of wicked spirits and suburban mediums
from the Man Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall, Bring Up the
Bodies and The Mirror & the Light. Alison Hart, a medium by
trade, tours the dormitory towns of London's orbital ring road with
her flint-hearted sidekick, Colette, passing on messages from
beloved dead ancestors. But behind her plump, smiling persona hides
a desperate woman: she knows the terrors the next life holds but
must conceal them from her wide-eyed clients. At the same time she
is plagued by spirits from her own past, who infiltrate her body
and home, becoming stronger and nastier the more she resists...
Shortlisted for the Orange Prize, Hilary Mantel's supremely
suspenseful novel is a masterpiece of dark humour and even darker
secrets.
