Holly Ringland - The World Beneath Her Feet

From the author of 'The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart' and 'The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding' comes a luminous novel about memory, belonging and the loves and landscapes that make us.

When the novel opens, Maggie Byrd is in her late thirties and living a charmed life in London. She works with fossils and gems at the Natural History Museum and shares a home with the two people she loves most: her best friend, Harriet, and her partner, Joe. However, beneath this carefully constructed façade lies a past Maggie buried deep inside herself and resolved never to unearth: the story of a guilt-ridden, heartbroken girl who left Australia in her early twenties and swore never to return. When she learns that she's inherited her beloved uncle's rewilded land in a lush valley of southeast Queensland, Maggie's London life begins to fracture.

Holly will be in conversation with Brooke Davis.

Book sales and author signings will be offered at this event.
