Cheltenham Literature Festival is the world’s first literature Festival, leading the way in celebrating the written and spoken word, presenting the best new voices in fiction and poetry alongside literary greats and high-profile speakers.

Known for her meticulous portraits of community life in small-town New England, Elizabeth Strout is one of America’s finest living novelists. Clare Clark joins the Pulitzer Prize-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling Olive Kittridge author in conversation about her new novel, Lucy by the Sea which sees the indomitable Lucy Barton uprooted from her life in NYC to spend lockdown with her ex-husband on the coast of Maine.
