A fabulous new novel by Amanda Craig who previously appeared at our festival to talk about her acclaimed novel The Lie of the Land.
Her latest novel The Three Graces is about female friendship, courage, old age, crime and art. Enchanting, suspenseful and original, it is literary fiction at its most entertaining.
It tells the story of three very different friends having a last “adventure before dementia” in an Italy grappling with migration from North Africa, and with an oligarch neighbour whom Putin wants to kill.
Interviewed by Nicola Upson.
