Kate Atkinson at the Edinburgh International Book Festival
Jackson Brodie is back, but this time he’s working as a private investigator in a sleepy seaside Yorkshire village. Life seems straightforward, until a chance encounter reveals the town’s seedy underbelly, bringing Brodie’s past screeching back into view. The Costa Prize-winning Kate Atkinson is simply one of Britain’s most ferociously talented writers. She reintroduces one of her greatest creations in Big Sky, in a conversation with Lee Randall filmed live at the 2019 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
