12th September 2019 from 7.30pm
The Pavilion, Broadstairs
Set in Broadstairs!
The annual BroadstairsLit party night.
Broadstairs has been the inspiration behind many a fine literary work. Charles Dickens famously wrote part of David Copperfield when staying in Bleak House; John Buchan found the title of what is often hailed as the first modern spy thriller, at the “39 steps” down to Stone Bay. And bestselling novelist Lisa Jewell set her novel The truth about Melody Browne (Arrow) in our picturesque seaside town.
Local author and regular BroadstairsLit host, Jane Wenham-Jones, has set two of her previous novels – One Glass is Never Enough and Prime Time – here where she grew up, and has returned to her hometown for the setting for her sixth novel The Big Five O which is published by Harper Collins.
Party night will celebrate the launch of the paperback of The Big Five O with Jane, special guest Maggie Harris – the award-winning poet and short-story writer, who has also been inspired by beautiful Broadstairs, a showcase of local creative talent and live music from the Hot Rats Acoustic Duo. Not to be missed!
