Literary Lounge with Mary Lawson in support of The Children's Literacy Charity
Monday 15 January 2024
Our first Literary Lounge of 2024 will take place on Wednesday 6 March, with Mary Lawson, who will be interviewed about her book A Town Called Solace, which is a masterful, suspenseful, darkly funny and deeply humane domestic tale. The book explores the relationships of three people brought together by fate and the mistakes of the past.
Mary Lawson is a Canadian author who has been longlisted for the Booker Prize, first in 2006 for The Other Side of the Bridge and in 2021 for A Town Called Solace. Her first novel Crow Lake, a tense family drama, won the 2003 McKitterick Prize.
A raffle on the evening will benefit a charity of the author’s choice – The Children’s Literacy Charity’s vision is to close the literacy gap for children who face a range of disadvantages, helping them to catch up with their literacy and enabling them to achieve their true potential.
