THERE are free events being held during May at Winstone’s, trading as Hunting Raven Books, where authors will be hosting talks on their new books.
On Tuesday 8th May, join Natasha Solomons as she gives an illustrated talk on how she spins historical research into immersive fiction. Her latest novel, ‘House of Gold’ began with the discovery of a portrait of her family in the Frankfurt ghetto. Find out how that inspired a story of money, power and a desperate marriage during her talk from 6.30pm.
On Tuesday 22nd May Susannah Walker will talk about her new book which explores loss, grief and hoarding, through the story of her own relationship with her mother, and her experiences clearing up her mother’s crammed and dilapidated house after she died.
A deeply personal memoir about mourning and the shoring up of possessions against the losses and griefs of life, which also raises universal questions about what makes us the people we are. What do our possessions say about us? Why do we project such meaning onto them? And what painful circumstances turn someone who loves their home and the stuff it contains into an incurable hoarder who ends their days in squalor?
Join her as she hosts an intimate talk starting at 6.30pm. These events are free but space is limited, so please book in shop, on the phone, or via email: 01373 473111, huntingraven books@gmail.com.
