Description
Catherine O'Flynn is an English novelist. Her debut title, 'What Was Lost', was a huge success winning the First Novel prize at the Costa Book Awards in 2008 as well as being long listed for the 2007 Man Booker and Orange prizes. Catherine's new novel, 'The News Where You Are', is set, like her first, in her home town of Birmingham and follows the story of local TV news presenter Frank. Frank is coming to terms with significant changes in the world around him, leading him to take a drastic look at his life, a life that is well hidden beneath his on-screen persona.
