Many thanks to Cat Lumb for her blog review of The Palace of Curiosities paperback launch at the Manchester Museum for Manchester Literature Festival!

Excerpt here:

"When I asked her what had kept her going when it didn't seem like her book was ever going to be published she answered with a plain and direct: 'Bloody-mindedness'.

She spoke about how she couldn't stop writing even if no one ever got to see her work – something I have to say, I agree with. She was fortunate to have very supportive friends and the dedication inside the opening page reflects this: To everyone who believed I could get here, even when I didn't. This, I have to admit, is one of the more touching dedications I have seen in a long while."

Oswestry
Shropshire, SY11 2SP

Date: Wednesday 25th February – 7.00pm (for 7.30pm start)
Tickets: £5 (redeemable against book purchase) Refreshments provided.

Join us for an evening in the company of Rosie Garland as she talks about her latest novel Vixen.

Vixen is an extraordinary tale – a story of superstition and devotion in the time of the Black Death.
Devon 1349 – the villagers of Brauntone are awaiting a sign. As they haul a stinking creature from the nets, new priest Father Thomas thinks it has finally come. In the hands of his young housekeeper, Anne, this creature is revealed as just a girl, but in the mind of Father Thomas she is to be so much more than that. And he will stake all but his own life on that as the plague rages towards the village and its people turn to him to save them.
Following on from her much-loved debut The Palace of Curiosities, Vixen is a moving, atmospheric novel with a compelling story that that will draw you in. We are delighted to welcome Rosie to Booka to tie in with the paperback publication of Vixen.

Please book in advance – for tickets call in at the shop or purchase online via our Eventbrite page
