Mary Paulson-EllisLooking forward to hosting two events at the 2024 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
Trouble in Paradise: Sunny Singh, 14 August
Sunny Singh spent two decades researching terrorism and photography as an academic, and her fictional thriller, Hotel Arcadia is a nuanced page-turner. Join us as we discuss cultural depictions of terrorism, courage, and survival.
Feminist Revisionist History: Elle Machray and Harriet Constable, 20 August
I will be in conversation with two Observer Debut Novelists to talk about their 18th century revisionist histories.
The Instrumentalist by Harriet Constable sees us in Venice, 1707, where an orphaned girl is determined to become the city’s greatest violinist against the odds.
In Elle Machray’s, Remember, Remember we visit London in 1770, where a once enslaved woman is determined to take down the transatlantic slave trade.
