About this Event
Saturday 28 November 2026 | 9.30am–midday | Glasgow
Join us for a very special Christmas Bookface Sip & Swap with best-selling Scottish author Sara Sheridan, celebrating her latest novel, The Jewel Keepers.
Sara will be in conversation with STV presenter Emma Cameron for a live interview covering books, writing, Scottish history, the women whose stories have too often been overlooked – and the inspiration behind The Jewel Keepers.
Set in 1837, The Jewel Keepers follows Araminta McKenzie-Moore as she is drawn into the secret history of the McKenzie women, generations of Jewel Keepers to the Scottish Crown.
Expect secrets, intrigue, remarkable women, old Edinburgh and, of course, jewels.
