Please note: This is an online event.

Hannah Kent’s first novel, the international bestseller, Burial Rites (2013), was translated into over 30 languages and won many awards. Her second novel, The Good People (2016), received similar acclaim. We are thrilled to have Hannah Kent talking about her third novel, Devotion. This long-awaited novel demonstrates Hannah Kent’s sublime ability with language that creates an immersive, transformative experience for the reader. Devotion is a book to savour. Described as a heart wrenching love story, the novel centres on Hanne Nussbaum, a child of nature - she would rather run wild in the forest than conform to the limitations of womanhood. In her village of Kay, Hanne is friendless and considered an oddity…until she meets Thea.

Hannah Kent will be in conversation with Readings own Mark Rubbo.
