Upstairs at the Party: songs from the 1970s

It’s Upstairs at the Party‘s turn in the Waterstones Book Club this week – head to their blog to read an extract and their brilliant recommendation for the book.

To celebrate, Marie Claire have launched a competition to win a £300 shopping spree – along with a night’s stay in lovely vintage-styled Ace Hotel London Shoreditch.

And Saga UK have launched a competition to win £200 House of Fraser vouchers, along with a signed copy of the book – hurry, this one ends at midnight on Thursday 27 August.

If you are reading Upstairs at the Party, we’d love to hear from you – and if you’re looking for some music to read along with, we suggest this Spotify playlist, curated with 1970s bands from the book and extra suggestions from Linda Grant herself!
