Bestselling author Elly Griffiths introduces Manhattan-based British debut novelist S.V. Berlin to talk about their new novels, becoming a public author, different literary styles and routes to publication.

The perfect summer read, S.V. Berlin’s The Favourite is an utterly immersive novel of sibling rivalries and family members behaving badly in stressful situations. Early reviews have praised it as ‘both subtle and profoundly touching’ (Isabel Ashdown) and ‘engaging, subtly comic and stylish’ (Adam Baron).

Elly Griffiths is the award-winning author of the Norfolk-based Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries and the Stephens & Mephisto novels. Her most recent novel is The Chalk Pit. She has also written under her real name, Domenica de Rosa.

Tickets £3 to include wine.
