Twice nominated for the Booker Prize, Andrew O’Hagan is one
of Britain’s finest authors and essayists.
His latest novel, The Illuminations, tells the story of former documentary photographer Anne Quirk and her beloved grandson Luke, serving in Afghanistan as a Captain in the Royal Western Fusiliers, and is his triumph.
‘In the writing of it, ‘ writes Elizabeth Day in The
Observer, ‘O’Hagan has cast a
shimmering light on love and memory, life and loss and on the secrets we keep
from those closest to us, even from ourselves.’
Do join The Books That Built me on 17th March at The Club at Café Royal, where O’Hagan will share the books that have inspired and influenced his
writing life, and share the stories behind The Illuminations.
