Celebrate An Idle Woman with Wendy Parkins
Wendy Parkins is joined by Louise Welsh at Waterstones Argyle Street to discuss her brilliant historical fiction novel, An Idle Woman.
About Celebrate An Idle Woman with Wendy Parkins
Wendy's novel is a story of abuse, isolation, cruelty, and the fight for freedom, as she retells the story of a real 19th century divorce case with compassion and sensitivity.
Wendy and Louise will be discussing using real history in fiction, the modern resonances of historical cases like this one, the importance of compassion and honesty in fiction, and more, before Wendy signs copies of An Idle Woman.
