LAUNCH | Saoirse by Charleen Hurtubise, with special guest Louise Nealon
This event has now passed.
We’re delighted to host the launch of Charleen Hurtubise’s new novel, Saoirse, with special guest and fellow author Lousie Nealon. What happens when artist Saoirse is suddenly thrust into the limelight after years of escaping her past under cover of her new identity? Join us for what promises to be an intriguing discussion between two expert writers of character driven narratives, complicated pasts, and re-invention of the self.
All are welcome to attend, refreshments will be served.
