SUMMARY:An Evening with John Boyne
DESCRIPTION:John Boyne is one of the most successful and critically acclaimed novelists of his generation. Join us to hear him talk about his life\, his writing career and his new book The Weight of Angels. \n\n\n\nA FARSLEY LIT FEST 2026 EVENT \n\n\n\nLike Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet and Percival Everett’s James\, in The Weight of Angels\, John Boyne explores one of the great what-if stories of modern literature\, imagining the life that Oscar Wilde never had. John gives the great Anglo-Irish poet and playwright a fresh new voice and the opportunity to take an entirely different path. \n\n\n\nIn a career spanning more than 30 years\, John has published 15 novels for adults\, 6 novellas\, 6 novels for younger readers\, a short story collection\, and a picture book. His most famous book\, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas\, was a New York Times No.1 Bestseller\, and adapted for film\, theatre\, opera\, and ballet\, selling more than 11 million copies worldwide. It is used in schools on every continent to introduce young readers to their study of the Holocaust. \n\n\n\nThe event will include a book signing. Doors at 7pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmong his many international bestsellers are The Heart’s Invisible Furies\, A Ladder to the Sky and All the Broken Places. Between 2023 and 2025\, John published his acclaimed novella sequence\, Water\, Earth\, Fire\, and Air\, which was subsequently collected into one volume\, The Elements.  \n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\nCan one rash decision prove the difference between a life well lived and a life destroyed? When the Marquis of Queensbury left his calling card at the Albemarle Club in February 1895\, it bore only his name and five words: ‘For Oscar Wilde\, posing Somdomite’. The most feted playwright of his day famously sued for libel\, which led to his arrest\, criminal prosecution and ultimately prison. From then on\, his gilded existence spiralled into public disgrace\, humiliation and an early death.‘John Boyne is one of our best authors writing today. The Weight of Angels is wise\, imaginative\, funny\, and extremely moving. Art and Life\, Tragedy and Love\, you’ll find them all here in this rich and magnificent novel!’ – Tan Twan Eng\, Booker longlisted author of The House of Doors

SUMMARY:An Evening with Joanne Harris
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to be joined by the extraordinarily talented Joanne Harris – bestselling author of Chocolat – as we celebrate the publication of her new novel of love\, loss\, mystery and dementia. \n\n\n\nA FARSLEY LIT FEST 2026 EVENT \n\n\n\nAs well as hearing about Joanne’s new\, chilling winter ghost story\, we’ll discover the secrets behind all her writing and delve into the legendary world of Chocolat\, her 1999 novel which was adapted into an Oscar-nominated film\, starring Juliette Binoche. \n\n\n\nThe event will include a book signing. Doors at 7pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE BOOK \n\n\n\nOut 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… \n\n\n\nThe 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 owners belongings that it’s a perfectly self-contained and cosy home. \n\n\n\nOnly as the 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…and 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… \n\n\n\nTHE AUTHOR \n\n\n\nJoanne Harris (OBE\, FRSL) is the author of twenty novels\, three cookbooks\, many short stories and even the libretti for two short operas! \n\n\n\nShe was born in Barnsley\, to a French mother and English father\, and her books which she writes from a shed in her garden in a little wood in Yorkshire\, are now published in over 50 countries.  \n\n\n\nJoanne is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature\, an honorary Fellow of St Catharine’s College\, Cambridge\, was Chair of the Society of Authors between 2020 and 2024\, and in 2022 was awarded an OBE by the Queen.
