Bestselling author Kamila Shamsie, whose book Home Fire won the 2018 Women’s Prize for Fiction, introduces her new novel – Best of Friends – a novel about Britain today, about power and how we use it, and about what we owe to those who’ve loved us the longest. Kamila will be in conversation with author Sharlene Teo.
