Mostly Books Meets...4 Marras 2021

Revisiting our interview with Robert Harris

We’re taking a couple of weeks off to record some new episodes. In the meantime, we thought you’d like to listen to one of our favourite episodes from season one with best-selling author, Robert Harris. Robert’s first novel, Fatherland, was published in 1992 to critical acclaim and he has since gone on to publish a further 13 novels, the latest of which, V2, was published on when we interviewed Robert in September 2021. More recently, more than ten years in the writing, and now published in a single volume for the first time, The Cicero Trilogy brings the world of the Roman republic vividly to life. Robert specialises is historical fiction and he’s well known for producing page turning thrillers that keep the reader guessing until the end. His work has been translated into forty languages, several of his books have been turned into films, and he is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. Books mentioned in this episode include: Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld (https://bit.ly/3EP78ar), 1984 by George Orwell (https://bit.ly/3q3m6p3) & V2 by Robert Harris (https://bit.ly/3bJcsPS). Robert's latest book, The Cicero Trilogy is out in hardback now: https://bit.ly/3EMaGKw All of of these books are available to buy for a discounted price through the Mostly Books website (www.mostly-books.co.uk/shop). The podcast is produced and presented by the team at Mostly Books. Find us on Twitter @mostlyreading & Instagram @mostlybooks_shop. Mostly Books Meets is Edited by Nick Short @alongstoryshorter.
