Bestselling author of Hamnet and I Am, I Am, I Am, Maggie O'Farrell joins us to discuss her electrifying new novel, The Marriage Portrait, set in Renaissance Italy, and focusing on the captivating young duchess Lucrezie de Medici. In conversation with novelist Claire Cameron.

Full of the drama and verve with which she illuminated the Shakespearean canvas of Hamnet, Maggie O’Farrell brings the world of Renaissance Italy to jewel-bright life, and offers an unforgettable portrait of a resilient young woman’s battle for her very survival.
