In Conversation with Simon Savidge
Event details
Part of Storyhouse Queer
The Women’s Prize Trust is partnering with Storyhouse to bring you a series of book club events like no other.
Each event will feature an author from the Women’s Prize Library or a Women’s Prize judge in conversation with Simon Savidge. Marking the 30th anniversary of the renowned Women’s Prize for Fiction, these events will leave you with a TBR brimming with the very best in fiction by women.
The second event in the Women’s Prize Book Club is with Women’s Prize short- and longlisted author, Sarah Waters.
Sarah Waters has been thrice shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, for Fingersmith (2002), The Night Watch (2006) and The Paying Guests (2015), and was longlisted in 2010 for The Little Stranger. Join us for this in conversation with Sarah, as she discusses her first book recognised by the Prize – her third novel, the much-loved Fingersmith – and recommends a fantastic book from the Women’s Prize library.
If you aren’t able to join us in person, livestream tickets are available from the Women’s Prize Trust here.
Members: £18
Non-members: £20 (each ticket is subject to a £1.50 booking fee)
Group rates available, contact groups@storyhouse.com
