Sleepers in the Snow: An Evening with Joanne Harris (Book and Ticket included)

Description

Join us for an evening with Joanne Harris to celebrate her brand new novel, Sleepers in the Snow. We’re delighted to be joined by Joanne on publication day to celebrate this wonderful book! All tickets include a copy of the book (RRP £22).

Out on the moor, in the snow, a house stands beneath a pylon. It is a house full of memories, and full of old things.

And, in the dark, when the pylon sings in the wind, it is a house full of ghosts and fading memories . . .

The house, Kirkhill, has a new occupant – just moved in, fresh from a bitter divorce and looking for a fresh start. The moor is the perfect place for it: isolated, beautiful in the changing seasons, peaceful, and with just enough of the previous owner’s belongings that it’s a perfectly self-contained and cosy home. Only as nights start to draw in, and the weather takes a turn, so does the house.

The cosy isolation becomes menacing, animals begin acting strangely, and it seems someone could be watching the house. Soon, the diaries of the previous owners begin to reveal a terrible tragedy which befell Kirkhill – one which its new occupant may be unable to escape. This is a beautiful yet haunting ghost story for a frosty day.

The event will be held at 7.30pm on Thursday 8th October at Holy Trinity Church. This is an accessible venue. Please contact us if we can assist your attendance at the event in any way.
