Join us for this gripping Q&A with debut historic fiction author Kate Foster, whose phenomenal book 'The Maiden' was selected as Winner of the Bloody Scotland Pitch Perfect Award.
Telling a remarkable story with a feminist, revisionist twist and giving a voice to women otherwise silenced by history, 'The Maiden' is an extraordinary debut inspired by the real-life case of The White Lady of Corstorphine.
Edinburgh, October 1679. Lady Christian Nimmo is arrested and charged with the murder of her lover, James Forrester. News of her imprisonment and subsequent trial is splashed across the broadsides, with headlines that leave little room for doubt: Adulteress. Whore. Murderess.
Only a year before, Christian was leading a life of privilege and respectability. So, what led her to risk everything for an affair? And does that make her guilty of murder?
This Author Q&A will then be followed by a book signing.
