Come and hear ‘Britain’s answer to Donna Tartt’, Benjamin Wood and local author Alex Hyde discuss their experiences of writing historical fiction.
Local author Alex Hyde's astonishing debut novel, Violets, is about motherhood and loss in the dying days of the Second World War. One young woman, Violet, lies in a hospital bed after a miscarriage, while in the Welsh valleys, another Violet contemplates the fate she shares with her unborn child. As their lives begin to intertwine, a spellbinding story of women's courage emerges.
Set in 1950s rural England, The Young Accomplice by Benjamin Wood follows siblings Joyce and Charlie, just released from borstal, as they begin a new life as apprentices at Leventree, an architecture practice motivated to give young offenders second chances. Finalist for the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award, Benjamin Wood's writing has been compared to that of Thomas Hardy.
Join these two rising stars of the literary scene as they discuss their novels and their experiences of writing historical fiction.
