Very sad news, I was really looking forward to see what she would do next. A wonderful writer who managed to make me sympathize with Thomas Cromwell - no mean feat. I am going to reread A Place of Greater Safety in tribute. RIP Dame Hilary.

I was very sad to read this news. She is such a great loss and who knows what else she may have written, had she lived longer.
I read somewhere that the book on which she was working was set in the 18th century, as she felt she needed to move away from the Tudor period. |
