Following the success of our last two author talks I am delighted to be able to tell you that writer, Liz Trenow, will be coming to give a talk at the library on Saturday 23rd March. Liz’s first novel The Last Telegram was published last year. You may have heard of Liz as she received lots of publicity in Suffolk , having been brought up in Sudbury . Her historical novel is based around silk weaving, an industry with which she has strong family connections. The book has been very well received and she has a contract for a further two.
In The Last Telegram….
“The war changed everything for Lily Verner. As the Nazis storm Europe , Lily becomes an apprentice at her family's silk weaving factory. When they start to weave parachute silk there is no margin for error: one tiny fault could result in certain death for Allied soldiers. The war also brings Stefan to Lily: a German Jewish refugee who works on the looms. As their love grows, there are suspicions someone is tampering with the silk. Can their love survive the hardships of war? And will the Verner's silk stand the ultimate test? The Last Telegram is an evocative and engaging novel for fans of The Postmistress and Pam Jenoff.”

Our event will be of a similar format to before in that Liz will chat about her book and career and there will be a chance for questions. Also, she will be selling copies of The Last Telegram which she will sign. The event will start at 2pm and finish at approximately 4. We plan to start publicising the talk more widely within the next 1-2 weeks and anticipate that it will be popular. Tickets cost £2 (including refreshments) and if you would like me to reserve you any please get back to me asap. Remember, we have limited places. Also, if your group would like to read her book let me know if you would like any copies reserved.
