About this Event
Join us for an inspiring evening with Gareth Rubin and Stuart Turton discussing their new books The Turnglass and The Last M**der at the End of the World.
Marking the paperback release of The Turnglass, Gareth will be discussing his brilliant novel that sits in a similar vein to Turton's Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. The Turnglass is a genius blending of fact and fiction, dark and beguiling, this mesmerising and haunting dual narrative revolves around two homes called Turnglass House in 1800sEngland and 1930s California.
Stuart Turton is back again with his third novel The Last M**der at the End of the World. An ingenious puzzle, an extraordinary backdrop and an audacious solution. Turton delivers an outstanding dystopian thriller revolving around a M**der in an island paradise that holds what is left of the world.
Gareth and Stuart will be interviewed by a bookseller, which will be followed by an audience Q& A session and finishing off with a book signing at the end. It will be an event you don't want to miss!
