Wolf Hall

Wolf Hall | Hilary Mantel

The Perfect Curl Up and Read Fall Book
4 weeks ago

I was a few pages into Wolf Hall and knew immediately I was reading something very special – the perfect Heather’s Pick. When the novel was nominated for the coveted Booker Prize, I kept my fingers crossed that it would get the nod. In fact, a few weeks ago, Wolf Hall emerged the 2009 Booker winner. And winner it is. Wolf Hall is rich, historical fiction with a totally new perspective on the intrigue-filled court of Henry the VIII. All the usual suspects are present: Henry’s first wife Kathe… read review

    HI!
    I noticed one of your picks was "Let the Great World Spin", and I wanted to recommend to you the movie "Man On Wire." If you haven't seen it, it's the documentary about the man who tightrope walked between the Twin Towers. It's incredible! I think you would really enjoy it.

    Hello there.

    Yes, Ayaan is simply amazing. I just finished her book of essays as well (The Caged Virgin). I would love to meet her and you. I'm quite excited that Aayan is now with Knopf Canada too.

    I'm working on a novel set in a heaven designed for atheists. It's to be called Heaven Is a Place Where Nothing Ever Happens. I hope to finish a draft soon. Thanks for the book recommendation. I'll definitely pick up Cutting for Stone.

    All the best,

    Neil

    Hey Heather, I heard that an Indigo will be opening in Milton, Ontario. When will this happen?

    Hi Heather! I was extremely happy to learn that an Indigo will be opening up in Milton. Could you let me in on the details so I can share them with my friends and co-workers?

    Hello Heather!
    I wonder if you have read Outcast by Sadie Jones. It is a moving first novel. I highly recommend it.

    A quick note, Heather, to tell you how much I loved Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. I stayed up till 4 a.m. reading this eye-opening autobiography on the weekend. This woman is courageous and inspiring. I hope to have a chance to meet her one day. (She just signed a book deal with Knopf Canada, my publisher.) I've already ordered The Caged Virgin to read more about Ms. Ali. Thanks for making this book a Heather's Pick. And thanks again for your support of my book.
