In May 2019, The Deserter's Daughter was selected as the Book of the Month by BBC Radio Berkshire. The public libraries bought in extra copies so local people could read it in time for the programme the following month, when it was to be discussed on air by three reviewers - novelist and poet Claire Dyer, writer David Barker and the presenter, Bill Buckley. On the day, Bill wasn't there, so his review was read out by the guest presenter. Listen to the reviews and thoughts here.
