Book launch and discussion featuring Hannah Regal and Juliet Jacques
Join Hannah Regel and Juliet Jacques to discuss the themes of friendship, failure, and obsession that emerge in her debut novel which follows Nicola Long, a fine arts graduate who becomes engrossed in the mysterious correspondence she finds in a feminist archive.
Book Description:
Nicola Long is a few years out of a fine arts degree, listless and unenthusiastically employed in London. She begins to spend her hours at a small underfunded archive dedicated to women’s art. There she discovers one side of a correspondence beginning in 1976 and spanning a dozen years, written from one woman – a ceramics graduate, uncannily like Nicola – to a friend living a contrasting and conventionally moored life. As Nicola reads on, an acute sense of affinity turns into obsession.
