Join a captivating afternoon with two of Britain’s most original literary talents, Sarah Hall and Daisy Johnson, as they discuss their haunting new books exploring nature, myth, folklore and the female body.
In Helm, Sarah Hall (twice Booker Prize–nominated, winner of the BBC National Short Story Award) conjures a ferocious wind in the Eden Valley into a living, ancient force — worshipped, feared, and now under threat from human interference. It's a story of obsession, ecology, and our enduring connection to the natural world.
In The Hotel, Daisy Johnson (Booker-shortlisted author of Everything Under) invites us into a gothic, mysterious building in the Fens, built on cursed land and steeped in strange power. Women enter and emerge changed — or never leave at all.
Together, these two acclaimed writers explore the elemental forces that shape both landscape and self.
