Start the Week - Family drama at Hay Festival
Download Family drama at Hay Festival
In front of an audience at this year’s Hay Festival Helen Lewis talks to three prize winning authors about their work.
Damon Galgut’s Booker-winning The Promise tells the story of a family and a country – South Africa – and the failed promises that destroy them both. The exciting promise of a super-connected world where memories are currency is set against the quest for privacy in Jennifer Egan’s new novel The Candy House. And Margo Jefferson examines every passion, memory and influence – from family to jazz to art – in her new memoir, Constructing a Nervous System.
Producer: Katy Hickman
