Alys Conran is one of Britain’s most exciting new writers. Her first novel, Pigeon, was praised for its humanity and skill: ‘might have been authored by Faulkner’, one critic wrote. Appropriately enough for a festival called Hearth, Alys’s second novel Dignity (forthcoming in 2019) is all about the places we call home. It tells the story of three women: sharp-tonged Magda, her carer Shusheela, and the memories of Magda’s mother Evelyn, a former teacher. Magda spent her childhood in the British Raj, a place that ground down her mother and left a lasting legacy on all three women. Dignity considers what the Raj means to Britain today.
