Today Virago publishes An Honourable Man, the brand new novel from critically acclaimed novelist, playwright, memoirist and President of English Pen, Gillian Slovo.

Fresh from writing the astonishing Tricycle Theatre play, The Riots, which received rapturous reviews across the board and is currently showing at the Bernie Grant Arts Centre in Tottenham, An Honourable Man sees Slovo moving back in time to the streets of Victorian London and the war torn deserts of 1884 Sudan, where her new novel is set.

Touching upon themes of war and empire, honour and responsibility, jihad, foreign policy and what happens to those war leaves behind, An Honourable Man is a powerful novel which is as relevant now as ever. To celebrate its release we have eight limited edition proof copies of the book to giveaway. To be in with a chance of winning one, simply fill in your details in the form below.
