Summer Reading and Benjamin Wood

Chris Power talks to Benjamin Wood about his novel The Young Accomplice and explores a rich list of summer reading recommendations.

Chris Power talks to Benjamin Wood about his novel The Young Accomplice. Set in 1952 the novel explores how Frank Lloyd Wright’s modernist vision inspired a married couple to set up their own architectural office in rural Surrey, where they offer a creative education and opportunity to orphaned siblings fresh out of borstal.
And critics Johanna Thomas -Corr and Max Liu join Chris to discuss their richly varied recommendations for summer reading.
