About this Event
Join us in conversation with bestselling author Jenny Colgan as she discusses her hugely successful writing career including her latest novel Close Knit. In it, Jenny returns to the remote Scottish Island of Carso where the pilot for the local airline is Morag who stopped flying long haul to return home.
Unlike Morag, Gertie has never had the courage to leave the island where she was born. It's the only place she knows, but she can’t do anything without everyone knowing. Especially as she lives in a tiny cottage with her mother and grandmother who are the women at the heart of the local Knitting Circle, a group of strong, capable women who work hard, gossip, knit - and support each other through thick and thin.
When the chance comes to make changes - a new job working at the local airport, a new flat, new friends and even a possible new romance - a world of possibilities opens up.
This event is free but booking by Eventbrite is essential.
