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 Â鶹ԼÅÄ World News programme Talking Books.
