Join us in the Kettle’s Yard house to celebrate author Rebecca Birrell’s debut novel Venus, Vanishing.
Birrell will be in conversation with novelist and poet Megan Hunter, followed by a Q & A, book signing and drinks reception and an opportunity to purchase the book.
Venus, Vanishing is a passionate page-turner about desire, art, and the stories lost to the darkness of history. Birrell’s first work of fiction will be discussed in the context of her acclaimed bookThis Dark Country: Women Artists, Still Life and Intimacy in the Early Twentieth Century
