18th December: Picador's favourite parties

Posted By Rosanna Boscawen on Tuesday 18th Dec 2012
 

This year we published Suzette Field's A Curious Invitation: The Forty Greatest Parties in Literature. Parties are at the heart of literature, they're where the drama happens; this book is a compendium of who was there, what they wore, what was eaten and who said what to whom. In tribute to all the festivities in the book, we've asked our authors to tell us a little about their best parties, real and fictional.

Posted By Rosanna Boscawen on Wednesday 12th Dec 2012
 

Naomi Wood is the author of The Godless Boys, a novel about an alternative England, where the Church controls the country and non-believers have been exiled to a remote island. On the Island, a fierce group of boys patrols the community, searching for signs of faith and punishing any believers. When a new girl appears the gang is split: one boy falls in love with her, another seeks violent revenge. The struggle between them will change everything.
