About
We are delighted to have Sue Wolfe join us to discuss her powerful lyrical novel, The Girl Who Climbed on Rooves.Told in a series of fragmented yet interwoven memories, the novel follows Frances, a composer who revisits her past in an attempt to understand her emotionally volatile mother and the unspoken catastrophe that shaped their lives. As Frances uncovers secrets buried in family silences-ranging from childhood abuse to institutionalisation-she channels grief into artistic joy through music.
Structured like a four-movement symphony, the book is both a deeply personal narrative and a broader reflection on intergenerational trauma, creativity, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Free, but bookings are essential.
