British authors and literary institutions mourned Hilary Mantel, who died at the age of 70, as "one of the best writers of our time".

The British writer is best known for the "Wolf Hole" trilogy, which deals with the life of Thomas Cromwell, which won international acclaim and won the British Booker Prize.

Prominent authors mourned the late writer after HarperCollins Publishing announced in a statement that she passed away last Thursday "suddenly and quietly" among her family and close friends.

"Hilary Mantell was one of the greatest English novelists of the century and her beloved works are considered modern classics. We will miss her greatly," said HarperCollins.

For her part, J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series of books, mourned the late author on Twitter, saying, “We have lost a genius.”

Mantel wrote Palace of the Wolves and presented it to publishing houses, but they refused, and the owners of these houses ridiculed the novel, and their justification for their ridicule was "Who is the person who will read events that have passed many decades?"

Mantell took the disappointment of her novel to tell it to her friend, who advised her to tear the novel to pieces, and told her that the novel was very boring, but Mantell's challenge had another opinion, she decided to publish the novel at her own expense, and she never expected the novel to become one of the best-selling novels and distributed three Millions of copies.

It happened that the novel won the Booker Prize, which was a great fairness to the novel, as it was read by many public cultural figures, including Nobel Prize winner Margaret Atwood.
