We are beyond ecstatic to invite you to an evening of literary conversation between two incredible authors, Holly Ringland and Sally Hepworth.

Holly Ringland, international bestselling author of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, is back with comes a luminous, deeply emotional, and utterly absorbing new novel, The World Beneath Her Feet.

In her late thirties, Maggie Byrd lives a charmed life in London. She works with fossils and gems at the Natural History Museum, and shares a home with the two people she loves most: her best friend, Harriet, and her partner, Joe. However, beneath this carefully constructed facade lies a past Maggie buried deep inside herself and resolved never to unearth: the story of a guilt-ridden, heartbroken girl who left Australia in her early twenties and swore never to return. But when she learns that she's inherited her beloved uncle's rewilded land in a lush valley of southeast Queensland, Maggie's London life begins to fracture.
