SUMMARY:Claire Fuller
DESCRIPTION:Claire Fuller\nHunger and Thirst \nUnfortunately\, Fiona Mozley has had to cancel her appearance at Cuckfield Bookfest because of a bereavement. We are very sorry not to welcome her\, but we are delighted that Claire Fuller will still be joining us to talk about her new novel\, Hunger & Thirst. \nClaire is not only a wonderful writer but also a delightful and engaging speaker. Come and hear her talk about her book\, and what inspired her to write it. \nHunger & Thirst is a chilling novel about loneliness\, belonging and female friendship. In 1987\, 16-year-old Ursula\, traumatised by childhood and the care system\, joins a squat where charismatic Sue dares her into a terrible act that haunts her for decades. Thirty-six years later\, living anonymously as a celebrated sculptor\, Ursula is exposed by a true crime documentary\, forcing her to confront whether the real monsters lie within or beyond. \nClaire Fuller previously appeared at Cuckfield Bookfest with Unsettled Ground\, winner of the Costa Novel Award. In conversation with Melanie Whitehouse\, founder of the Sussex Book Lovers’ Supper Club.

SUMMARY:Patrick Gale
DESCRIPTION:THE BIG BOOK GROUP \nPatrick Gale\nLove Lane\nwith Tiffany Murray \nLove Lane is a brilliant new standalone novel featuring characters from Patrick’s Costa-shortlisted novel A Place Called Winter. \n1950s Northern England. Three generations of men\, two of women. When veteran Canadian wheat farmer\, Harry Cane is brutally obliged to sell up and sail home to an England transformed by two world wars\, his arrival triggers unwelcome self- examination for the family he abandoned\, and for whom he has never been more than a distant figure. Can Harry stay and make a new life? \nFrom the rural plains of Canada to 1950s Liverpool and Yorkshire\, Love Lane is a searing portrayal of escape and entrapment\, and a powerful exploration of what home and family can really be. \nOne of our most highly regarded novelists\, Patrick will be in conversation with Tiffany Murray\, a Hay Festival Fiction Fellow and old friend of Patrick’s. \n\n\n \n  \nImage © Jillian Edelstein
