We are proud to be partnering with the Proms At St Jude's Litfest as their offical bookseller. Join us for a weekend of fantastic author talks and discussions.
Polly Toynbee’s prosperous ancestors, committed left-wing rabble-rousers railing against injustice, could never claim to be working class, settling instead for the affluent life of academia and journalism. So where does that leave their ideals of class equality? Through a colourful, entertaining examination of her own family, containing everyone from Jessica Mitford to Bertrand Russell and featuring ancestral home Castle Howard as a backdrop, the journalist, author, and broadcaster explores the myth of mobility, the guilt of privilege, and asks for a truly honest conversation about class in Britain.
Polly Toynbee will be in conversation with Georgina Godwin.
