Andrew Miller in conversation with Michael Hughes 


Monday 27 July 2026 | 1.30pm | £10.00 

Andrew Miller's is regarded as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary British fiction. His recent novel, The Land of Winter, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and was winner of The Walter Scott prize for Historical Fiction and the Winston Graham Historical Prize 2025, is a masterclass in storytelling – proof yet again that Andrew Miller is one of Britain's most dazzling chroniclers of the human heart. It is a powerful and atmospheric story of love, loss and survival set against the harsh winter landscape of wartime Britain. Among his numerous other novels are Ingenious Pain, which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and the Grinzane Cavour Prize, Oxygen, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Whitbread Novel of the Year Award in 2001, and Pure, which won the Costa Book of the Year Award 2011. Andrew Miller's novels have been published in translation in twenty countries.

‘Sentence after sentence, The Land in Winter is beautifully intricate, deeply moving, and utterly absorbing.’ Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground 

Michael Hughes, a Co Armagh born writer and actor, is the author of the novels, Country and The Countenanced Divine.
