With the recent announcement that Stephanie Meyer’s retelling of
the Twilight saga from Edward Cullen’s perspective (Midnight Sun)
will finally be published in August there has been some ravenous
excitement around the original books and perhaps even a
reappraisal of their value. Should one feel guilty about enjoying
them so much and indeed should one feel guilty about reading
anything at all? To help answer those questions I spoke to former
Waterstones Children’s Book Prize-winner Kiran Millwood Hargrave
and Booker Prize-nominee Daisy Johnson. Lockdown has allowed
these near-neighbours to create a bookclub amongst their friends
and things have get very intense recently with the Twilight saga
turning them all.

Books mentioned: Twilight, Midnight Sun, The Mercies, Sisters
