On Faith: Sarah Perry

It’s an age-old question: can faith and reason co-exist? It’s one Sarah Perry – author of The Essex Serpent and, more recently, the 2024 Booker-longlisted Enlightenment – has long ruminated on, and has woven into her fiction, letting her characters wrestle it out among themselves. What does faith mean to Perry beyond a religious context? How can it inform and enrich our lives? She discusses this and more with Richard Holloway.
