Jill Dawson & Kate Mosse

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to encounter two of our finest women authors discussing their latest, war-themed novels. Kate Mosse, founder of the Orange Prize, is the author of the hugely popular novels Labyrinth and Sepulchre. Her new novel The Winter Ghosts is again set in the south of France, but this time in the years following the Great War. By turns thrilling, poignant and haunting, this is a story of two lives touched by war and transformed by courage. Jill Dawson's novel concerns the war poet Rupert Brooke. In The Great Lover she gives poignant voice to Brooke through a dual narrative that unfolds in both his own words and those of her spirited fictional character, Nell, a seventeen year old housemaid.
