Charlotte Hobson’s first novel, The Vanishing Futurist, a historical novel set in revolutionary Moscow, was published earlier this year by Faber and Faber. Antony Beevor described it as ‘breathtakingly original, luminously intelligent and impossible to put down. A great novel by any measure.’ Her first book, Black Earth City (Granta 2000) won a Somerset Maugham Award and was shortlisted for the Duff cooper Prize and the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award. She lives in Cornwall with her husband, writer Philip Marsden, and their two children.
