This episode also features a conversation between Hampshire County Council’s Chief Executive John Coughlan who retires this month, and Emma Noyce who heads up Hampshire Libraries. Joanne is our author of the month at Hampshire Libraries in July: for more information about her work visit our Joanne Harris feature blog. She was only the fifth British female novelist to join the ‘Millionaire authors club’: the list of authors who’ve had at least one of their books sell more than a million copies in the UK. If you think you’re familiar with Joanne’s writing already, you may want to think again since her books don’t fit neatly into one genre: she’s covered France, cookery books, romance, psychological thrillers, vampires, Norse mythology, fairy tales, self-help advice for authors and even a Dr Who novel.
This darkly comic series is set in the north of England and features the eccentric Latin Master Roy Straitley. It’s the latest in the St Oswald’s Boys Grammar School series which started with 2005’s Gentlemen and Players.
