Event information

Two of the UK’s most exciting new voices in fiction join us to speak about their debut novels, both of which are gripping works of historical fiction. Elizabeth Macneal’s first novel, The Doll Factory, is a story of art, obsession and possession set in Victorian London. The Doll Factory was a Sunday Times top 10 best-seller upon its release in May, has been featured on both BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 4, and has received widespread critical acclaim.

Warwickshire-based author Caroline Lea’s debut, The Glass Woman, was published by the Michael Joseph imprint of Penguin Random House in February 2019. Described by The Times as 'a fantastic, atmospheric debut', The Glass Woman is set in 17th century Iceland, and is a rich and captivating tale of superstition and salvation, love and fear - for fans of The Binding, The Miniaturist and The Silent Companions.
