Your chance to hear authors going beyond the book to talk about the themes and ideas that obsess us all.
Changes
At the start of a new year, and indeed a new decade, we’re taking the theme of Changes to allow us to talk to Dr Rangan Chatterjee about the simple ways in which we can genuinely change our health, happiness and fulfilment without having to take out a gym membership or clear the diary. We also hear from Emily Dean about how losing her sister, mother and father in the space of three years, forced a huge amount of change on her and how she coped with this bereavement. And Claudia Hammond tells us why rest is as important as sleep for human health and happiness and why reading might be the very best way to achieve it.

Few authors can match Melissa Harrison’s evocative descriptions of country life and the natural world and, in All Among the Barley, she allies her redolent prose to a compelling story of community and lost innocence. With a narrative haunted by one war and on the cusp of another, this is an atmospheric modern take on the pastoral novel.

Caught between the Jamaican British family who don’t seem to understand her, a job that’s not all it promised and a man she just can’t get over, Queenie Jenkins’ life seems to be steadily spiralling out of control in Candice Carty-Williams luminous debut. By turns hilariously funny, dramatic and tender, with a heroine to root for, Queenie is undoubtedly one of the year’s most exciting debuts.
