Kate Atkinson
Join one of the greatest chroniclers of our times Kate Atkinson as she discusses Our Noble Selves, a brilliantly witty, sharp and richly atmospheric new novel set against the optimism and upheaval of post-war Britain.
It's 1951, the Festival of Britain promises a bold new future, and war reporter Harry Flynn is searching for redemption after the devastation of the Far East. Drawn into a chaotic world of readying the Festival, alongside other chancers and misfits, Flynn soon finds himself entangled in a mystery when a woman he recently dated disappears. As his life begins to unravel, help arrives from an unlikely duo: a precocious thirteen-year-old named Veronica and a scruffy terrier called Mrs Betty.
Brilliantly plotted, witty and compelling, Our Noble Selves is vintage Kate Atkinson. Don't miss this opportunity to hear one of the world's foremost novelists in conversation
A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, she is the author of acclaimed novels including Life After Life, Transcription and Behind the Scenes at the Museum, which won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award. Her bestselling Jackson Brodie crime novels were adapted for television by the BBC.
