Jason Isaacs reads from ‘Held’ | The Booker Prize

Watch Jason Isaacs read from Booker Prize 2024-shortlisted ‘Held’, written by Anne Michaels.

The story so far: 1920: John has returned from war to North Yorkshire – alive, but not still whole. Reunited with Helena, an artist, he reopens his photography business and endeavours to keep on living. But the past erupts insistently into the present, as ghosts begin to surface in his pictures: ghosts whose messages he cannot understand.
