SUMMARY:An Evening with ... Lucie McKnight Hardy
DESCRIPTION:Join us in conversation with Lucie who grew up in West Wales and is a Welsh speaker and now lives in Hay-on-Wye. Her most recent book has been heralded as a ‘claustrophobic folk horror’ by Sunday Times Style \nAbout Lucie McKnight Hardy\nLucie McKnight Hardy is the author of Water Shall Refuse Them\, which was shortlisted for the Mslexia Novel Competition and long listed for the Caledonia Novel Award and the short story collection\, Dead Relatives. Both were picked as Waterstones Welsh Book of the Month.  \nAbout Night Babies \n \nIs the house haunted? Or is it her? \nThings were looking up for Astrid Aspden and her partner\, Kit\, until their house flooded. With Astrid’s first solo art exhibition just weeks away\, her paintings are ruined and excitement has turned to despair. She is thrown a lifeline when her best friend Flora invites her to stay in a run-down chapel she and her partner\, Sim\, are renovating in the Brecon Beacons. As Astrid and Kit settle into their new surroundings to salvage her work\, they soon learn about the unsettling history of the chapel and what lies beneath the nearby reservoir. \nAs the weeks go by\, tensions simmer between Astrid and Flora as sour memories flare up from their teenage past and deep wounds are laid bare from an ill-fated school trip to Florence. Her relationship with Kit begins to fray as the chapel and the surrounding hostile beauty of the valley begin to intrude on their lives. \nAstrid throws herself into her work but the longer she spends in the chapel the more she begins to notice things: handprints on her paintings\, shadowy figures reflected in the reservoir and voices whispering in the night. As the darkness of the Welsh valley closes in on Astrid\, will she be able to run from the looming horror or be consumed by it? \n\n\n\nEvent Format:\nAuthor talk ‘in conversation’\, followed by audience Q&A and book signing. \nTickets:\n£10 without book or £22 with book \nVenue:\nThe Loft at Bookish is located in our flagship store in Crickhowell\, accessed from Silver Lane.\nPlease let us know if you have an accessibility/mobility requirements. \nRefunds:\nIt is our general policy not to refund event tickets unless an event has sold out.
