Show Notes
To celebrate the announcement of the winner of the 2021 Costa Book of the Year Award this week, Read On will be looking back over some of the Costa highlights from previous years, including:
Our interview with Hilary Mantel when ‘Bring Up the Bodies’ won Best Novel in 2013.
Ali Smith discussing her novel ‘How to Be Both’.
A review of Frances Hardinge’s brilliant story for Young adults ‘The Lie Tree’.
And award-winning poet J.O. Morgan on recording his epic poem ‘Assurances’ as a Talking Book.
And of course we will also bring you the reaction of this year’s winner, poet Hannah Lowe, on winning this most popular of British literary awards.
