The Orange Prize winning author of We Need to Talk About Kevin and The Mandibles returns to Jewish Book Week to discuss her career and give a preview of her next novel. Lionel Shriver‘s most recent book The Motion Of The Body Through Space was described as “scabrously funny” by The Guardian; Should We Stay or Should We Go, to be published this summer, takes the brilliant premise of a married couple in their 80s facing the realities of a decades-old pact to avoid the ignominies of ageing. She will be in conversation with Sunday Telegraph columnist and author Zoe Strimpel.
