We are so excited to announce that we are sponsoring Val McDermid at this year’s Stratford Literary Festival so save the date – 3 May 2024 7:30pm – 8:30pm.
Val McDermid has sold over 19 million books to date across the globe and has been translated into more than 40 languages.
In her latest book, Queen Macbeth you are taken to the depths of 11th century Scotland, where you meet Gruoch Ingen Boite, a granddaughter of the king, caught up in a web of vicious intrigue. Set against a dramatic highland backdrop, one of the country’s most beloved and bestselling crime writers weaves a tale of marriage and multiple murder, showing how one strong, charismatic woman, shaped by hard times, was able to survive – and thrive – amidst the endless plotting of a succession of ruthless and ambitious men. Overturning Shakespeare’s propaganda, she’ll introduce a new Lady Macbeth, bringing a schemer in the shadows out into the light and exposing the patriarchal prejudices of history
Val is a global success story and we feel honored to be sponsoring her. Watch this space for further updates and the chance to WIN tickets in our Spring Newsletter out soon! We can’t wait to meet up with her.
The Spring Stratford Literary Festival runs from the 1st – 5th May at The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Stratford upon Avon. For more information call the Box Office on 0333 666 3366 or visit the Stratford Literary Festival to view the full programme.
