Nell Stevens & Sarah Winman: Hearing the Voices of Ghosts
Two novelists lead us across history and into the European sunshine. Sarah Winman’s Still Life brings us to a crumbling Tuscan villa where two strangers’ lives are entwined. Nell Stevens’s Briefly, A Delicious Life is set in a Mallorcan monastery where the soul of a murdered teen watches Frederic Chopin and George Sand build a simpler life. Join two authors to discuss witty works about breaking life’s conventions, set a century apart.
