Hilary Mantel. Absolutely gutted that she was working on a mash up of Jane Austen’s works, focusing on what a bore Mr. Darcy actually was. Would’ve absolutely love to have read that.

Atonement is my very very favorite book. It’s my desert island book. If I could only take one, it would be atonement. I’m really curious why people hate it, I know it’s controversial. Anybody here who hates the book explain exactly why they hate it? Is it the gut punch of the reveal, I know that my mother felt betrayed by that last minute switch up.
