Lean, Fall, Stand by award winning novelist, Jon McGregor, grabs your attention from the start. When an Antarctic research expedition goes wrong, the consequences are far-reaching – for the men involved and for their families back home. Robert ‘Doc’ Wright, a veteran of Antarctic field work, holds the clues to what happened, but he is no longer able to communicate them. While Anna, his wife, has to overcome the problems of her new life as a carer, Robert is forced to learn a whole new way to be.

‘Utterly original. Jaw-dropping. The sort of book you’ll think about for ages’ – Jarvis Cocker. 

The discussion will be led by Peter Hammond.
