[dulwichbooks]

Dulwich Books are delighted to host a fiction double will featuring Evie Wyld in conversation with Laura Beatty on Thursday 3rd July, chaired by Costa Novel Award 2013 judge, Eithne Farry.

Evie Wyld is the author of the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize winning novel 'After the Fire, A Still Small Voice.' In 2010 she was listed by The Daily Telegraph as one of the twenty best British authors under the age of 40 and appeared on Granta Magazine?s Best of Young British Novelists list. Evie also runs The Review Bookshop in Peckham. Her latest novel, 'All The Birds, Singing' has just been published in paperback.

?A dark, powerfully disturbing and beautifully observed story? ? William Boyd on All the Birds, Singing.

Laura Beatty is the author of 'Pollard,' a book that Dulwich Books? bookseller Philip Maltman has been recommending for five years and is regularly in our bestseller chart. When 'Pollard' was published in 2008 it won the Authors? Club First Novel Award and was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature?s Ondaatje Prize. May 2014 sees the publication of her second stunning novel, 'Darkling' which has already received great reviews.

?A fierce and wonderful book ... This is just the sort of generous, provocative novel the Booker judges should cherish...Bewitching... despite its readability, Pollard is the precise opposite of escapist literature, because it gives the reader back the world? - The Observer on Pollard.

This event will be chaired by Eithne Farry, who is an author, reviewer, journalist and Costa Novel Award 2013 judge.

Doors will open at 7pm with drinks served; the event will start at 7.30pm and last approximately one hour followed by a book signing.
