Talking Books: The Mandibles: A Family, 2029 - 2047

The brilliant new novel from the Orange Prize-winning author of We Need to Talk about Kevin centres on three generations of the Mandible family as an extreme fiscal crisis hits a near-future America. This is a frightening, fascinating, scabrously funny glimpse into the decline that may await the United States all too soon. Shriver talks to George Alagiah.

This event will be recorded for broadcast on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ World News programme Talking Books.
