We’re delighted to announce March book of the month is Chris Cleave’s Everyone Brave is Forgiven. We have 50 free copies up for grabs and Chris Cleave will be joining us to discuss the book on Monday 27 March, 9-10pm.

Impeccably researched, Chris Cleave's latest novel shines a light on the untold stories of the second world war. He looks at the plight of the unwanted children who remain in London during the blitz, at a small community of black inhabitants, working in theatres in London throughout the war and he draws on the experiences of his own Grandfather when describing the plight of soldiers stationed in Malta, besieged by horrific attacks from both Italian and German troops.

These fascinating stories are explored through three characters, dealing with complexities of love, alongside the dangers of war. With emotion and humour Cleave looks at and their capacity for humility and courage both on and off the battle-field.

Find out more about the book and apply for a free copy before Monday 27 February and put the date in your diary to join the discussion and chat to Chris Cleave on this thread on 27 March.

@ParadiseCity

Oooooooh I'm reading this at the minute, have to say it is excellent, hope I can still join in the chat despite not applying for a free copy.

Absolutely! We'd love you to join us.

The giveaway is now closed and we'll be notifying those who have been allocated books over the next couple of days. If you haven't been lucky this time, buy a copy and join us for the webchat at the end of March.

Welcome everyone to March bookclub. We're really thrilled that Chris Cleave will be joining us tonight to talk about his wonderful novel Everyone Brave is Forgiven. I've just seen the words 'unputdownable' in a post from earlier and this is exactly what we thought when we read the book last year. There's already some questions in and I know lots more to come so will hand over to you Chris but may we also ask you our Mumsnet questions that we put to all authors:

What was your favourite childhood book?

What was the last book you bought someone as a gift?

And the last book you received?

And finally - can you describe to us the room where you wrote Everyone Brave?

Thanks so much for giving us your time tonight Chris and welcome to Mumsnet. Over to you....

Well that brings us to the end of the hour - it went so fast! Thanks SO much Chris for your time this evening and for your thoughtful and fascinating answers. It's great to hear about how you came to write such a brilliant novel - as you see it was loved by many readers and we're delighted that we selected it as book of the month.

Good luck with your next project and please do come back another time. Many thanks to all those who joined us tonight. A reminder that April Book of the month is The Mandibles by Lionel Shriver, who is joining us on Wednesday 3 May. Goodnight
