The Unpierced Heart by Katy Darby, reading, cake, wine and Q & A

 7-9pm, Tuesday 23rd October

 
Come and meet local author Katy Darby, have a glass of wine and pick up a signed copy.
 
 
The Unpierced Heart was called The Whores' Asylum when it was first published. Why the change? Come and ask her!
 
The Independent has this to say about the book: ‘Katy Darby has wrought a truly gothic little gem that could almost have fallen through a wormhole, 125 years ago.’
