 An Afternoon with Robert Harris,
Wednesday 28th September, 2.00pm, St Michael's Church, Kirkgate, Linlithgow
Best-selling author Robert Harris is coming to Linlithgow! To celebrate the launch of his latest novel, Act of Oblivion, Robert will be appearing on Wednesday 28th September at 2.00pm in the iconic setting of St Michael's Church.
The author of Fatherland, the Cicero trilogy, Munich, The Second Sleep and many more will be talking about his writing life, and of course his latest novel, Act of Oblivion, which has been described as the story of the greatest manhunt of the seventeenth century. The hunt for the two men wanted for the murder of Charles I takes place in an epic journey across continents and culminates in a chase like no other. It is the most ambitious novel yet from the pen of Robert Harris, the ‘master of the intelligent thriller’.
We're very pleased to announce that Mary Paulson-Ellis will be interviewing Robert, a welcome return for her here in Linlithgow!
Tickets: £10* and available in the shop or online here: www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com

 An evening with Kate Mosse, Tuesday 11th October, 7.00pm, St Peter's Church, Linlithgow
Another of our favourite authors is heading to Linlithgow! Kate Mosse OBE is the author of the fabulous Languedoc trilogy, and we are currently enjoying her latest series, The Burning Chambers and City of Tears. She is coming to Linlithgow to discuss a new non-fiction work, Warrior Queens and Quiet Revolutionaries - real life stories of the women who also helped to shape our world. Warrior Queens & Quiet Revolutionaries brings together Kate’s rich and detailed knowledge of unheard and under-heard women’s history, and of how and why women’s achievements have routinely been omitted from the history books. This beautifully illustrated book is both an alternative feminist history of the world and a personal memoir about the nature of women’s struggles to be heard, about how history is made and by whom.
This is a hybrid event, so please email sally@maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com if you would like to access it via zoom.
Tickets £5* and available in the shop or online here: www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.com
*Ticket includes discount on book and refreshments at the event
