Rachel Joyce In Conversation: Perfect

Rachel Joyce discusses her thought-provoking new book, Perfect.

It is 1972 and young Byron seems the only one worried that, to realign clocks with the movement of the Earth, two seconds are being added to time. Byron’s mother Diana doesn’t seem concerned until at the moment these two extra seconds are added she makes a devastating mistake that comes to overshadow both their lives.

Rachel Joyce was long-listed for the 2012 Man Booker Prize and awarded New Writer of the Year 2013.
