About this Event

We are delighted to welcome Claire Lynch to celebrate the paperback release of her dazzling, award-winning novel, A Family Matter.


Winner of the Nero Gold Prize Book of the Year & the Nero Debut Fiction Award 2025

A mother following her heart. A father with the law on his side. A child caught in the middle.

1982 Dawn is a young wife and mother hemmed in by village life. Then Hazel appears like a torch in the dark. Their attraction is instant and suddenly Dawn’s world is more joyful, and more complicated, than she ever expected.

2022 Maggie has always lived with an absence where her mother should be. Her father never speaks of her and it feels impossible to ask. Then an official letter arrives with news from the past, and Maggie must face a truth far bigger than just her family’s secret.

Claire will talk about her novel before an audience Q&A and book signing.


Claire Lynch has spent her career teaching literature in universities. She is the author of Small: On Motherhoods. She lives in Windsor with her wife and three daughters.
