Two books to take you on a journey. Three women, in conversation.
In The Lodgers, a woman returns to her hometown, but her thoughts stay with the rented room she left, and the lodger living there.
Holly Pester, praised as one of the best poets of her generation, will be talking about her debut novel, The Lodgers, and the dramas of temporary living, in this dark comedy about lodgers, lovers and mother-daughter bonds that falter across time and tenancies.
In Foxash, winner of the 2023 East Anglian Book Award for Fiction, a young couple move to a smallholding in 1930s rural Essex for a fresh start, only to find their new neighbours have secrets of their own.
Award-winning novelist Kate Worsley will be talking about rootedness and fertility, the precariousness of life on the land, and the real-life social movement that inspired this atmospheric and unsettling book.
Join Felixstowe-based author Ruth Dugdall, in conversation with Holly and Kate, for what promises to be an entertaining and enlightening event.
