Linda Grant - Sponsored by GWR

Linda Grant’s novels are firm favourites among book clubs and have been rightly garlanded: When I Lived in Modern Times won the Orange Prize for Fiction, The Clothes on their Backs was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and The Dark Circle was shortlisted for the Bailey’s Prize and the Wingate Prize, which she won with her next novel, A Stranger City. Her latest, The Story of the Forest, is a comic epic of survival and reinvention sweeping us from revolutionary Latvia via suburban Liverpool to postwar Soho. Nigella Lawson says “I want to press a copy on everyone I know” and after hearing Linda discuss it with her old friend, Petroc Trelawny, we hope you will too!
