WhichSchoolAdvisor.com speaks to author Chris Cleeve about his favourite teacher and what he would say to him if he met him today…

Chris Cleave’s first novel 'Incendiary' won the Somerset Maugham award, the Book-of-the-Month Club’s First Fiction award and the Prix Spécial du Jury at the French Prix des Lecteurs.

It was described by the Washington Post as ‘a mesmerizing tour de force’.

His second novel, the Costa-shortlisted 'The Other Hand,' was a global bestseller and sat in the New York Times Top Ten bestseller list for over a year (under the US title Little Bee).

The interview was recorded at the Emirates Literature Festival in Dubai.
