Lily King: Heart The Lover

Описание

Hello and welcome to a very special mini series here on the Inklings Book Club podcast where we’ll be meeting each of the six shortlisted authors for the Women’s Prize for Fiction! The Women’s Prize for Fiction is one of the most successful, influential and popular literary prizes in the world, championing and amplifying women’s voices and nurturing a global community of readers. The Prize was established in 1996 to highlight and remedy the imbalance in coverage, respect and reverence given to women writers versus their male peers, creating a platform for exceptional writing by women to shine. The Prize is awarded annually to the author of the best full-length novel of the year written in English and published in the UK. The winner receives £30,000, anonymously endowed, and the ‘Bessie’, a bronze statuette created by the artist Grizel Niven. Today we’re meeting, Lily King, author of Euphoria, The English Teacher, Writers & Lovers, and Heart The Lover, among others. Heart the Lover is her sixth novel, both a prequel and a sequel to the wildly successful Writers & Lovers – she’s the patron saint of love triangles. Even Pythagorus didn’t explore triangles as much as Lily King. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
