Ep 179: Dreamland by Rosa Rankin-Gee


Listen Later

Anna and Annie discuss the 2021 Booker Prize Longlist and the winner of the 2021 Miles Franklin Literary Award, Labyrinth by Amanda Lohrey.

Our book of the week is Dreamland by Rosa Rankin-Gee. Set in Margate in the near future, it depicts a bleak world as Chance and her family struggle to survive.  It's  dystopic 'cli-fi' and a beautiful love story.  An Evening Standard Best New Book of 2021 and recommended by Brit Bennett, this lives up to the hype.

Coming up: At Night All Blood is Black by David Diop translated by Anna Moschovakis.
