In 1938, a city girl named Layla Beck is cut off by her wealthy father and is forced to take a job on the Federal Writers Project. Much to her disgust, she is sent to record the history of the town of Macedonia, West Virginia, a task she expects to be both easy and excruciating. Taking up residence with a local family, the Romeyns, she soon discovers that they are at the centre of the most perplexing event in the town’s history.

Join the bestselling author of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society as she discusses her new book The Truth According to Us.

Books will be available for purchase on the day, or

Bookings required.

This event is part of the Lord Mayor’s Writers in Residence series.
