Overview

Historical novelist and non-fiction writer Francis Spufford is coming to UEA to discuss his latest release, Nonesuch.

Francis Spufford is the author of three novels and five highly‑praised works of non‑fiction. His debut work of fiction was the historical novel Golden Hill, which won the Costa First Novel Award and the Desmond Elliott Prize. His second novel, Light Perpetual, was longlisted for the Booker Prize.

He will be discussing his latest novel, Nonesuch, a richly imagined thrill-ride of a novel set in the London of 1939, as an ambitious young woman working in the City crosses paths with a technical whizz who leads her into a strange world of time beds, spirits and the twisted passages between past and present.
