This event brings together two great writers and journalists, whose latest books dramatise the special qualities of opposing seasons. Melissa Harrison’s new novel, All Among the Barley, set in the summer of 1933, is a masterful evocation of the rhythms of the natural world and pastoral life. Speaking with her is Horatio Clare, whose The Light in the Dark combines a scintillating portrait of the world of winter with moving personal narrative. Whether you’re a summer or a winter person, there’s something for you here.
