Kate Atkinson’s first book, Behind the Scenes of the Museum, beat Salman Rushdie to win the Whitbread Book of the Year.
Since then, she’s captured readers’ hearts with her tough-but-empathetic Yorkshire PI, Jackson Brodie.
Her latest book, the wildly inventive Life After Life, is shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction – and hotly tipped for this year’s Booker.
What if you had the chance to live your life again and again, until you got it right? The characters in this genre-bending book get just that.
Atkinson will be in conversation with Sue Turnbull.
Kate Atkinson appears as part of a double-bill with Sylvia Nasar. Book your discounted tickets to both sessions here.
Kate Atkinson is presented in association with Sisters in Crime.
