Throughout the year, Brad at Neglected Books has been running a series of (free) online events highlighting neglected books that have been reprinted by various different reprint publishers. I’m delighted to say that the turn of the British Library Women Writers series comes on Tuesday 29 August – and I’d love you to come and join!
When Brad asked which book I wanted to highlight for this event, I did toy with my favourite from the series (O, The Brave Music by Dorothy Evelyn Smith) but I’ve already appeared on the wonderful Lost Ladies of Lit podcast to discuss that – and I wanted to choose a book that has, if possible, been even more neglected. I deeply love this novel and its heroine, and would love more people to read it and meet her.
If you’re free 7-8pm BST on Tuesday 29 August, please do come along to this online event – it’s free, and I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun.
Sally on the Rocks is certainly a good choice. Unfortunately, at this time in the morning (my time), I’m usually skipping around and fumbling with barbells in my Silver Sneakers (fitness for old people) class.
I happen to be reading this right now and signed up. Looking forward to it. Just fyi, the calendar entry generated by the event does not adjust for time zones. It’s showing 7 pm New York time when it should be 2pm
This sounds a great event. IThanks for the notification. Really looking forward to it. DV.
How wonderful, and a great book to choose! I’m unfortunately going to be travelling back home from a funeral in Surrey at that time, but I hope it goes really well.
Thank you, I very much enjoyed the online discussion and seeing your beautiful cat ‘in person’
