Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City, presents an online author event in support of the Morley Prize for Unpublished Writers of Colour. A judge on the prize, Hare will give a reading from the novel and a Q&A about her writing, her research and engagement with the Windrush story, and the Morley Prize itself.

This Lovely City is a soaring debut set in London in the aftermath of the Second World War, which charts the course of a jazz musician newly arrived in London on the Empire Windrush, and the opportunity, excitement, prejudice and love he finds in the dizzying metropolis.
