This four-book paperback collection brings together the celebrated fiction and non-fiction of Francis Spufford, one of Britain's most versatile literary voices. Spanning historical adventure, alternate-history heartbreak, Soviet-era ambition and a spirited defence of faith, the set showcases the astonishing range of a writer equally at home in invention and argument. It's an ideal introduction for new readers and a satisfying addition for existing fans, gathering award-winning, critically acclaimed titles into one covetable collection for the home library or as a thoughtful literary gift.. About the Books. Unapologetic is Spufford's brief, witty, personal defence of Christian belief, arguing not that Christianity is factually true but that it is emotionally recognisable, offering a refreshingly honest account of faith in the twenty-first century. Light Perpetual, longlisted for the Booker Prize, opens with a German rocket striking wartime London and imagines the lives five children might have lived had that single moment never happened — a moving meditation on memory, chance and the preciousness of ordinary life. Golden Hill, Spufford's Costa Award-winning debut novel, drops a mysterious stranger into 1746 New York with a suspiciously large fortune to claim, delivering a dazzling, plot-twisting homage to the picaresque novel. Red Plenty blends fiction and history to imagine the hopeful, strange moment when the Soviet Union's planned economy seemed destined to out-perform capitalism, told through scientists, planners and dreamers caught up in Khrushchev's brief utopian promise. Together the four books trace Spufford's journey from acclaimed essayist to award-winning novelist, each retaining his hallmark wit, precision and emotional intelligence.. Four complete works by an award-winning, critically acclaimed British author. Mix of literary fiction and thoughtful non-fiction spanning history, faith and imagination. Includes Costa Award-winning and Booker-longlisted titles. Smart paperback format, ideal for shelving as a matching set. A memorable gift for readers of literary and historical fiction. Perfect for book clubs seeking varied discussion material. About the Author. Francis Spufford is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and teaches writing at Goldsmiths, University of London. He began his career writing acclaimed non-fiction, including I May Be Some Time and Unapologetic, before turning to the novel with Red Plenty and his Costa Award-winning debut, Golden Hill. His second novel, Light Perpetual, was longlisted for the Booker Prize. Known for his elegant prose and formal inventiveness, Spufford moves fluently between fact and fiction, history and imagination.. Why You'll Love This Collection.
