New York: Picador, 2004, later printing number line ending in 17 of the First Picador edition, 223pp., . "Giving Up the Ghost opens in 1955 with 'A Second Home', in which Mantel describes the death of her stepfather, a death which leaves her deeply troubled by the unresolved events of childhood. 'Now Geoffrey Don't Torment Her' begins in typical, gripping Mantel fashion: 'Two of my relatives have died by fire.' Set during the 1950s, it takes the reader into the muffled consciousness of her early childhood, culminating with the birth of a younger brother and the strange candlelit ceremony of her mother's 'churching'. Mantel then moves to a haunted house and mysteriously gains a stepfather. When she is almost eleven, her family flee the gossips and the ghosts, and resolve to start a new life. Teenage perplexity displaces childhood dreams of Arthurian knights as her home turns into a place where the keeping of secrets has become a way of life. Convent school provides a certain sanctuary, with tacit assistance from the fearsome 'Top Nun'. After making good her escape to university and her own marriage, the author reveals how, through medical misunderstanding and neglect, she came to be childless, and how the ghosts of the unborn, like chances missed of pages unturned, have come to haunt her life as a writer.". 9780312423629 ISBN 0312423624 8.00.
