We hope to see you tomorrow night (21 April) for our Tyler Keevil event, focused on his latest novel Your Still Beating Heart.

ABOUT THE NOVEL: Eira’s husband has been murdered – a random stabbing on a London bus. Detached from her previous life, numb with grief, she impulsively books a ticket to Prague, the city where her husband proposed. Once there, a chance encounter leads to an offer of work. A job for someone like her: The good kind of traveller. Just head over the border, pick something up and drive back. That’s all. Just once. But both Eira and the dangerous gang who have employed her are about to discover who she really is and how far she is prepared to go.

Stylised and daring, Your Still Beating Heart is at once a scalpel-sharp thriller and a stark meditation on grief. Told in the second person, the narrative channels the dark, existential energy of Mohsin Hamid or Albert Camus and grips the reader from the first pages.
