The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher by Hilary Mantel

The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher is a collection of ten short stories by award-winning author, Hilary Mantel. Ironic observations and wry humor mark most of these stories which, for the most part, depict life in twentieth century England.  Adultery, sudden death, lingering death, class differences, the cruelty of children, cruelty to children and resentment against ruthless politicians are some of the subjects of these stories. They often lead the reader along gentle plot lines until the conclusions take unexpected darker twists. These stories are best approached cold, without a hint of what may happen, so the less said here the better.
