John Murray Press: Proof Party & Prosecco

10 Oct 2024

19:45 - 20:45

Ilkley Playhouse

Meet two of the next big names in fiction and get your hands on their exciting debut novels before they’re published at John Murray Press’s proof party! *Clare Leslie Hall’s* *Broken Country* is an epic love story with the pulse of a thriller. Set in rural England, it follows a woman who must choose between the life she has built and the passion of her first love. *Lucy Steeds’s* gorgeously immersive novel *The Artist* was inspired by a line in an art history book which claimed “there are no female forgers”. In 1920s Provence, Ettie, the niece of a great, reclusive painter has been cultivating a secret. Over one sweltering summer her truth is revealed. Enjoy a glass of prosecco on arrival and take home a free goody bag with proof copies of both books.
