Ordinary Time

Described as ‘Britain’s answer to Anne Tyler’ by Philippa Perry, Cathy Rentzenbrink is the author of the novel Everyone Is Still Alive and several acclaimed works of non-fiction including the Sunday Times bestseller The Last Act of Love. Join her for a discussion around her new novel Ordinary Time, a wise, funny and deeply moving book that tells the story of Ann, a reluctant Vicar’s wife, whose world unexpectedly opens after meeting a kind and charismatic man on a trip to visit her brother.

Praised as ‘funny and heartbreaking’ by Nina Stibbe, Ordinary Time is an unforgettable story of the joys and sorrows of everyday life; one that asks big questions about friendship and marriage, forgiveness and redemption, and the real meaning of love.

Cathy Rentzenbink will be in conversation with Francis Spufford.

Francis Spufford will also be speaking at his event Cahokia Jazz.
