Chidgey on Fire

Set in a sinisterly skewed version of England, Catherine Chidgey’s astonishing new novel, The Book of Guilt, is a story told through the eyes of Vincent (one of three identical triplets) and the lonely but observant single child, Lucy. Claire Mabey, who will lead the kōrero with one of our greatest storytellers, describes what is Chidgey’s third book in as many years, as both a page-turner and deeply serious work.
