John Boyne & Simon Mayo (2016 Event)
We were delighted to welcome John Boyne with his latest novel The Boy at the Top of the Mountain and Simon Mayo with Blame back to Charlotte Square Gardens. In this event, filmed live at the 2016 Edinburgh International Book Festival, they examine ideas of moral responsibility and whether following generations should remain accountable for past crimes: questions explored in their latest taut thrillers.
