Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City, presents an online author event in support of the Morley Prize for Unpublished Writers of Colour. A judge on the prize, Hare will give a reading from the novel and a Q&A about her writing, her research and engagement with the Windrush story, and the Morley Prize itself.

This Lovely City is a soaring debut set in London in the aftermath of the Second World War, which charts the course of a jazz musician newly arrived in London on the Empire Windrush, and the opportunity, excitement, prejudice and love he finds in the dizzying metropolis.

The Morley Prize is an opportunity to recognise talented undiscovered writers of colour running through the summer of 2021, a partnership between Morley College in London and the RML agency.
