Novelist Nicholas Shakespeare is coming to Marlborough to talk about and sign copies of his latest book, ‘Priscilla’ – the astonishing story of his aunt and her precarious and morally ambiguous life in occupied France during World War II.
He will be appearing at the Royal Oak, Marlborough High Street, at 7pm on November 19, an event organised by Marlborough’s White Horse Bookshop.
“A most strange and compelling book driven by the writer’s unsparing search for truth: now an optimistic hunt for a family heroine, now a study in female wiles of survival, now a portrait of one very ordinary person’s frailty in the face of terrible odds,” says the book’s promoter John le Carré.
Tickets £5, — redeemable against a purchase of Priscilla on the night — are available from the bookshop.
