Kate Atkinson

<p><a href="https://www.waterstones.com/author/kate-atkinson/58821" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Kate Atkinson</a>&#39;s latest novel beautifully combines her skills in historical detail and crime caper plotting for a story which assembles a motley crew of misfits attempting to curate 1951&#39;s Festival of Britain. We sat down to speak with her about the allure of the period, how she creates character and why bringing joy to readers is still what drives her.</p>
