Clare Chambers, award-winning author of Small Pleasures is back with a new novel. The Guardian has stated that, 'Shy Creatures’’ confirms Clare Chambers as one of our most talented writers' and we’re proud to announce that Clare will be joining us for Farsley Lit Fest.

‘Shy Creatures’ is a life-affirming novel about all the different ways we can be confined, how ordinary lives are built of delicate layers of experience, the joy of freedom and the transformative power of kindness.

Clare Chambers's first job after university was working for Diana Athill at André Deutsch. Her first novel Uncertain Terms was published in 1992 and she is the author of eight other novels. ‘Small Pleasures’, her first work of fiction in ten years, became a word-of-mouth hit on publication, was selected for BBC 2 Between the Covers book club and for BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime, and was selected as a Book of the Year by The Times, the Evening Standard, Daily Telegraph, Spectator, Metro, Red and Good Housekeeping!
