Fiction Double Bill: Evie Wyld & Laura Beatty 3rd July 7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Dulwich Books are delighted to host a fiction double will featuring Evie Wyld in conversation with Laura Beatty on Thursday 3rd July, chaired by Costa Novel Award 2013 judge, Eithne Farry.


Evie Wyld is the author of the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize winning novel 'After the Fire, A Still Small Voice.' In 2010 she was listed by The Daily Telegraph as one of the twenty best British authors under the age of 40 and appeared on Granta Magazine?s Best of Young British Novelists list. Evie also runs The Review Bookshop in Peckham. Her latest novel, 'All The Birds, Singing' has just been published in paperback.


?A dark, powerfully disturbing and beautifully observed story? ? William Boyd on All the Birds, Singing.


Laura Beatty is the author of 'Pollard,' a book that Dulwich Books? bookseller Philip Maltman has been recommending for five years and is regularly in our bestseller chart. When 'Pollard' was published in 2008 it won the Authors? Club First Novel Award and was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature?s Ondaatje Prize. May 2014 sees the publication of her second stunning novel, 'Darkling' which has already received great reviews.


?A fierce and wonderful book ... This is just the sort of generous, provocative novel the Booker judges should cherish...Bewitching... despite its readability, Pollard is the precise opposite of escapist literature, because it gives the reader back the world? - The Observer on Pollard.


This event will be chaired by Eithne Farry, who is an author, reviewer, journalist and Costa Novel Award 2013 judge.


Doors will open at 7pm with drinks served; the event will start at 7.30pm and last approximately one hour followed by a book signing.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
