The award-winning journalist for The Guardian, talks on his new novel The People's Act of Love. Philip Pullman described it as 'a quite extraordinary novel... I admire it enormously' and Irvine Welsh was blown away by it – and immediately re-read it. He described is a 'a truly great novel'.

Set against the backdrop of Siberia, 1919, it's crammed with themes of revolution and destruction, God and cannibalism, sex and castration… and will especially appeal to lovers of Jonathan Safran Foer's Everything is Illuminated (Alles is Verlicht), Michel Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White (Lelieblank, Scharlaken Rood) and The Piano Tuner (De Pianostemmer) by Daniel Mason.
