Live stream direct from the Edinburgh International Book Festival

In conjunction with Edinburgh International Book Festival, we are delighted to present this special livestream event with Kate Foster.

Betrayal flows through Kate Foster’s chilling new novel: the story of two women, bonded forever in their exile to the world’s most desolate prison. Based on the real-life attempt by Scottish landowners to annex Iceland, The Repentants tackles shame, sin, and survival while transporting us to a harsh 18th-century landscape. Join Foster, the Women’s Prize-longlisted author of The Maiden, as she shares the thrill of reimagining the lives of women of the past. Chaired by Natalie Jayne Clark.

Please note: this event is streamed at AK Bell Library in partnership with the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
