Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner…

Honor Gavin, author of Midland and Tessa McWatt, author of Higher Ed read from their new novels at the Greenwich Book Festival. Midland introduces an original, sparky and fresh voice while Higher Ed is ‘a wryly passionate, slyly political and engrossing concatenation of London lives, that only a Londoner by choice could have written’, according to China Mieville.

It follows Francine, Robin, Olivia, Ed, and Katrin, who cross paths and cross swords to bring London living unforgettably to life.

Ronan Bennett says: 'The search for love is at the heart of Tessa McWatt's work as a writer, and so it is in Higher Ed. Her characters are by turns wise and foolish, hopeful and sometimes — movingly — so very near defeat. But they all continue to search … In dark times, they want to walk to the light. We watch them and hope that they make it.'
