Andrew O'Hagan - Be Near Me
An absorbing, topical novel with a lot of discussion points for reading groups.
In Be Near Me, an English priest moves to a small Scottish parish and finds himself at the centre of a religious war in the town, a conflict only intensified by the friendship he has formed with two local teenagers. John Burnside in the Telegraph described it as a ‘generous, wonderfully observed novel … also one of the few truly essential works of fiction to emerge from this country during the past 20 years or more.’
Andrew will be avialable to speak to libraries and reading groups from July 2007 onwards.
