Join Flora Johnston as she talks about her new new book, The Paris PeacemakersWe are delighted to be welcoming Scottish author, Flora Johnston , to the shop to discuss her powerful tale of love and loss in the aftermath of World War One, The Paris Peacemakers . Join Flora on Wednesday 1st May , at 7pm as she talks to Jennie Brown about how three Scots attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives while the fabric of Europe is stitched together for good or ill.
Paris, 1919. Will the brittle pieces of Europe ever fit together again?
As the fragile negotiations of the international Peace Conference get underway, typist Stella Rutherford throws herself into her work and the mixture of glamour and devastation the City of Light reveals. Anything to escape the grief coming in waves for her beloved brother Jack. Her sister Corran is about to put her academic career to use among the troops in France, a chance to see what the experience was like for countless men, including her fiancé Rob. Rob Campbell, profoundly changed by his time as a surgeon on the front line, has had little chance to lift his head from the incessant grind of the injured, dying and dead. If he did the ghosts of his teammates, the Scottish rugby players who followed the same path into hell, would surely be waiting for him.
