A chilling masterpiece.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Philip Pullman, author of \u003ci\u003eHis Dark Materials\u003c\/i\u003e series\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eConsidered one of the greatest writers of her generation, Man Booker Prize-winning author Hilary Mantel delivers a mid-career masterwork, as dark as it is riveting.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eColette and Alison are unlikely cohorts: one a shy, drab beanpole of an assistant, the other a charismatic, corpulent psychic whose connection to the spiritual world torments her. When they meet at a fair, Alison invites Colette at once to join her on the road as her personal assistant and companion. Troubles spiral out of control when the pair moves to a suburban wasteland in what was once the English countryside. It is not long before the place beyond black threatens to uproot their lives forever. This is Hilary Mantel at her finest--insightful, darkly comic, unorthodox, and thrilling to read.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHilary Mantel\u003c\/b\u003e was the author of the bestselling novel \u003ci\u003eWolf Hall \u003c\/i\u003eand its sequel, \u003ci\u003eBring Up the Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e, which both won the Booker Prize.
