Catherine Chidgey: The Book of Guilt

Commonwealth Writers’ Prize winner Catherine Chidgey’s 10th novel, The Book of Guilt, sparked an international bidding war.

With undertones of Shirley Jackson and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, the story’s teenage triplets discover – when the government decides to shut down their home – that some lives are valued more than others in this dystopian 1970s England.

Join Catherine, in conversation with Beejay Silcox, to hear about her deeply unnerving new novel.
