Book signing with Rosie Garland
Meet Rosie Garland, novelist, poet and singer in The March Violets to celebrate the paperback publication of her book The Fates. Rosie will be in The Book Corner from 1pm on Saturday 15 February to sign and say hello.
This is a free event – no need to book, just turn up.
About the book: Before Gods and mortals, there were The Fates . . .
You’ve heard the legends: three sisters born out of Nyx’s darkness, destined to weave the lives, and deaths, of humankind for eternity. But immortality is a heavy burden, and Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos are captivated by the gloriously human lives of the mortals below, especially those of the great warrior Atalanta and her ill-fated lover, Meleager. However, being a Goddess of Fate doesn’t make you a master of it. Will these three sisters find a way to free the couple, and themselves, from their destinies? Or will they be bound by Fate forever?
Rosie Garland writes poetry, long and short fiction and sings with post-punk band The March Violets. She is the author of The Palace of Curiosities (which won the Mslexia Novel Competition and was longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize), Vixen and The Night Brother, which was described by The Times as “a delight…with shades of Angela Carter.” Her new novel, The Fates (Quercus) is a retelling of the Greek myth of the Fates.
As part of Halifax’s first Goth Festival.
