 We're proud to host New York   literary agent Bill Clegg with his novel Did You Ever Have a Family, one of the season's most highly acclaimed new titles. Longlisted for the 2015 Man Booker Prize and an instant bestseller, it is the story of June Reid, a woman who loses her daughter, her daughter's fiance, her ex-husband, and her boyfriend in a catastrophic fire on the eve of her daughter's wedding. In the wake of her loss, June finds a beautiful and surprising web of connections through shared heartbreak. 

Did You Ever Have a Family is Mr. Clegg's first novel. He is also the author of two bestselling memoirs, Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man and Ninety Days.
