About this Event
Sebastian Faulks in conversation with James Newcome
Join us in person for a captivating chat between acclaimed author Sebastian Faulks and James Newcome former Bishop of Carlisle. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to hear from two brilliant minds live!
In Fires Which Burned Brightly, Faulks, a reluctant memoirist, offers readers a series of detailed snapshots from a life in progress. They include a post-war rural childhood – ‘cold mutton and wet washing on a rack over the range’ – the booze-sodden heyday of Fleet Street and a career as one of the country’s most acclaimed novelists.
