THE BOOK:

Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and Winner of the Waterstones Debut Prize this year - a big year so far for this book! Booksellers, authors, critics - have all shared so much love for this debut novel which was published early this year. 
This is historical fiction but also described as surreal and dreamlike by fellow authors. It follows the curator of a royal medieval palace, who becomes transfixed by the story of an obscure, long-forgotten King. 
The story is described as ‘a rich feast of images and ideas’ (Observer), ‘brimful of beguiling oddness, it delights in the smallest, most subtle historical details, while delving into the emotional truths nestled in the hearts of the lonely curator and the unambitious, forlorn king’ (Daily Mail). Fellow author Jessie Burton said ‘this book felt like something hidden come to life - what is real, and what is true, and in the middle of all that, what really matters?’. It sounds like a unique read and we are excited to discuss it with you all!
