Hilary Mantel beschrijft in ‘Acht maanden in de Gazastraat’ het Saoedi-Arabië van de jaren tachtig: de olieprijzen reiken tot in de hemel. Frances Shore en haar echtgenoot Andrew – voor veel geld aangetrokken voor een groots bouwproject – betrekken in Jeddah een appartement buiten de expat-compound. Meteen wordt duidelijk hoezeer de situatie en de ultraconservatieve, islamitische mores van het land invloed hebben op Frances’ leven. Behalve wat incidentele contacten met een paar vrouwen in het gebouw is ze afgesneden van werk, sociale contacten en haar vrijheid buitenshuis. Af en toe ongestoord boven op het dak staan en over de stad uitkijken is het hoogst haalbare. Het maakt haar hypergevoelig en paranoïde, de voortdurende beklemming van haar leven is bijna tastbaar en creëert scheuren in hun huwelijk. Bovendien bestaan er in deze claustrofobische omstandigheden amper mogelijkheden om de muur van vooroordelen over westerlingen te doorbreken. Behalve een intiem portret van een vrouw en een huwelijk is ‘Acht maanden in de Gazastraat’ verrassend actueel.

Arabia Saudita, Gedda, Ghazzah Street. Uno strano posto. Un luogo senza passato, un luogo di passaggio dove nessuno si ferma per più di qualche anno e dove la gente, in casa, tiene le sue cose negli scatoloni. Anche la terra e il mare, laggiù, sono in continuo mutamento: ci sono ville costruite da pochi anni con vista sul mare che oggi si affacciano su un muro. Frances Shore è una cartografa, ma quando il lavoro di suo marito la porta in Arabia Saudita si ritrova come una prigioniera sperduta, incapace di orientarsi nelle zone oscure del paese. Il regime che impera è corrotto e inflessibile, molti degli stranieri che incontra non sono che avidi faccendieri in cerca di denaro accompagnati dalle mogli e i vicini musulmani si muovono furtivi ma hanno occhi per ogni cosa. Le strade non sono il posto adatto per le donne, e Frances – il marito Andrew è spesso assente – si ritrova confinata nel suo appartamento cercando di dare un senso a tutto ciò. Ma la battaglia è ardua. Le giornate diventano un susseguirsi di vuoti e di silenzi, interrotti soltanto dagli inspiegabili rumori provenienti dal piano superiore, che però, a quanto le è stato detto, dovrebbe essere disabitato. Quello dell’appartamento al piano di sopra diventa un mistero tutto da sciogliere, che obbligherà la protagonista a scontrarsi con le mille contraddizioni di un mondo infernale: un mondo asfittico, fatto di sofferenze celate, silenzi strazianti, segreti inconfessabili. Un mondo di cui le donne sono vittime ma anche complici. Hilary Mantel, la più grande scrittrice inglese del nostro tempo, prima e unica donna a ricevere due volte il Man Booker Prize, torna con un romanzo avvincente e attualissimo, in cui racconta il difficile mondo saudita con una sapienza e un talento senza pari. «Terribilmente avvincente. Costringe il lettore a sospendere la vita quotidiana fino alla fine della lettura». «Sunday Times» «Un incubo orwelliano sbalorditivo». «Literary Review» «Un romanzo incredibilmente scioccante con un umorismo infernale». «The Guardian»

Balancing the high expectations of the previous generation, the doctrines of their Muslim community, and the demands of secular Western culture, Azeem Bhatti and his wife Saima struggle to straddle the gap between their Pakistani heritage and their British upbringing. With deep compassion, Hammaad Chaudry brings to life a recognizable and unforgettable family, and with sharp intellect, asks potent questions about the challenges of integration and assimilation for immigrants in today's global world. As witnesses, we are all forced to confront pressing questions about the nature of belonging and our own internal prejudices about that which is "other."

The New York Times bestselling collection, from the Man Booker prize-winner for Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, that has been called "scintillating" (New York Times Books Review), "breathtaking" (NPR), "exquisite" (The Chicago Tribune) and "otherworldly" (Washington Post). "A new Hilary Mantel book is an Event with a ‘capital ‘E.'"—NPR "A book of her short stories is like a little sweet treat."—USA Today (4 stars) "[Mantel is at] the top of her game."—Salon "Genius."—The Seattle Times One of the most accomplished, acclaimed, and garlanded writers, Hilary Mantel delivers a brilliant collection of contemporary stories In The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher, Hilary Mantel's trademark gifts of penetrating characterization, unsparing eye, and rascally intelligence are once again fully on display. Stories of dislocation and family fracture, of whimsical infidelities and sudden deaths with sinister causes, brilliantly unsettle the reader in that unmistakably Mantel way. Cutting to the core of human experience, Mantel brutally and acutely writes about marriage, class, family, and sex. Unpredictable, diverse, and sometimes shocking, The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher displays a magnificent writer at the peak of her powers.

New York Times bestselling author Hilary Mantel, two-time winner of the Man Booker Prize, is one of the world’s most accomplished and acclaimed fiction writers. Giving Up the Ghost, is her dazzling memoir of a career blighted by physical pain in which her singular imagination supplied compensation for the life her body was denied. Selected by the New York Times as one of the 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years “The story of my own childhood is a complicated sentence that I am always trying to finish, to finish and put behind me.” In postwar rural England, Hilary Mantel grew up convinced that the most extraordinary feats were within her grasp. But at nineteen, she became ill. Through years of misdiagnosis, she suffered patronizing psychiatric treatment and destructive surgery that left her without hope of children. Beset by pain and sadness, she decided to “write herself into being”—one novel after another. This wry and visceral memoir will certainly bring new converts to Mantel’s dark genius. “Mesmerizing.”—The New York Times
