I've been interviewed on ABC Radio National's 'The Bookshelf' about Tania James's new novel, Loot.
Loot is an historical novel set in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, in India, France and England. I was invited to speak about the novel, because it includes a portrait of a friendship between a young, rather unsure man of 17 and an older, weary master craftsman, a type of relationship that forms something of a connection between the novel and the characters of my most recent book, Running with Pirates. The two books also share themes theft and piracy, debt, and returning.
The interview/review is available in full here.
