Spend the day in the company of some of Britain’s best-loved authors as they share their stories, experiences, inspirations and latest projects with host Patricia Nicol. Spring Readers’ Day is a regular, and extremely popular feature of the main Festival and this spring we will be bringing the very best summer reads to West Horsley Place. The day takes the format of a mini festival in a day with five authors, including debut fiction writers and established novelists, talking about their lives, their inspirations and their latest projects. There is also an opportunity to meet the authors and have books signed. This year, we’re pleased to give you more choice and are offering two tickets, one enabling you to bring your own lunch and one with a light lunch provided. Both options include a Goody Bag, and the venue offers free parking on site and a coffee van with hot drinks and tasty snacks in the courtyard. Our host for the day is author and journalist, Patricia Nicol. Patricia is a regular book reviewer for The Sunday Times, and also writes a weekly audio column, reviewing radio and podcasts. She also writes the Best Books column for the Daily Mail. ALEX HAY The Queen of Fives Alex Hay's debut novel The Housekeepers won the Caledonia Novel Award 2022, and was published to great critical acclaim. The Queen of Fives is twisty and compelling historical fiction in which London's most talented con woman has five days to lift a fortune from the richest family in England. S.J. PARRIS Traitor's Legacy Join #1 Sunday Times bestseller S. J. Parris as she discusses Traitors’ Legacy, the first in a brand-new historical crime series following former agent Sophia de Wolfe who is called to investigate a murder that reaches directly into the heart of the court of Elizabeth I. EMMA HEALEY Sweat Sweat is set in a gym where protagonist Cassie works as a personal trainer. When her controlling ex, Liam, comes in looking for a PT, she’s faced with an opportunity to take control after the anguish he caused her when they were together. An adrenaline-pumping read with a darkly twisted revenge plot at its centre, Sweat asks how far we’d go to take revenge on someone who wronged us. KRISTEN PERRIN How to Seal Your Own Fate Kristen Perrin is back with the second novel in her Castle Knoll series. Annie Adams is caught in a new web of murder that spans decades, returning us to the idyllic English village that holds layers of secrets. LARRY LAMB All Wrapped UP Join acclaimed actor and author Larry Lamb in conversation with journalist Patricia Nicol as they delve into All Wrapped Up, his gripping novel of filmmaking under fire. Expect behind-the-scenes drama, industry insights, and the real struggles of bringing stories to life - on and off set.
