Description
The debut novel from Countdown’s Susie Dent is a love letter not only to language but to the city of Oxford, as well as an intriguing mystery of a missing woman. Martha Thornhill, senior editor at the Clarendon English Dictionary, has returned to Oxford, where her brilliant older sister Charlie disappeared long before. Mysterious letters sent to the lexicographers seem to be referring to Charlie’s disappearance, and the secrets she may have kept, but powerful forces are trying to keep those secrets buried…
Susie will be in conversation with Julie Mae Cohen, author of Bad Men and Eat Slay Love.
Tickets £5 including a glass of wine or soft drink.
