Birmingham Literature Festival 27-29 April & 4-14 October 2018

Coming up in April, Birmingham Literature Festival:

Bham Lit Fest: 27-29 April and 4-14 October 2018 Celebrating West Midlands writers There's a quiet but fierce pride which comes from knowing that the writers you admire come from (and, occasionally, write about) where you know and love. Come and hear from these wonderful writers from around the West Midlands, who are all showcasing their work at the upcoming Birmingham Literature Festival. You can download the full programme, view all events, and buy tickets or a festival pass, here. Book launch: Kit de Waal, The Trick to Time Birmingham, 1972. Mona is a young Irish girl in a big city, with the thrill of a new job and a room of her own in a busy boarding house. On her first night out in town, she meets William, a charming Irish boy with an easy smile and an open face. They embark upon a dizzying love affair, a whirlwind marriage, an unexpected pregnancy - before a sudden tragedy tears them apart.
