AM Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔs - May We Be Forgiven
James Naughtie and a group of readers talk to American writer AM Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔs about her darkly comic novel May We Be Forgiven, which won the 2013 Women's Prize for Fiction.
A. M. Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔs discusses her poignant and funny book May We Be Forgiven. Academic and Nixon obsessive Harold is our companion in this whirlwind of a novel when his dull life is ruptured by his super successful brother George, who having caused a terrible road accident, commits an even more heinous crime within his own home.
May We Be Forgiven won the 2013 Women's Prize for Fiction (now known as the Bailey's Prize).
