Join Kate as she talks about her new book with Sara Sheridan on Wednesday 3rd May at 7pm . "In the end, it did not matter what I said at my trial. No one believed me." Edinburgh, October 1679. Lady Christian is arrested and charged with the murder of her lover, James Forrester. News of her imprisonment and subsequent trial is splashed across the broadsides, with headlines that leave little room for doubt: Adulteress. Whore. Murderess. Only a year before, Lady Christian was newly married, leading a life of privilege and respectability. So, what led her to risk everything for an affair? And does that make her guilty of murder? She wasn't the only woman in Forrester's life, and certainly not the only one who might have had cause to wish him dead . . . 'A masterpiece. A thrilling historical murder tale but so much more. Vivid, evocative and full of humanity' - Janice Hallett, bestselling author of The Appeal and The Twyford Code Inspired by a real-life case and winner of the Bloody Scotland Pitch Perfect Award, Kate Foster's The Maiden is a remarkable story with a feminist revisionist twist, giving a voice to women otherwise silenced by history. - Kate Foster has been a national newspaper journalist for over twenty years. Growing up in Edinburgh, she became fascinated by its history and often uses it as inspiration for her stories. The Maiden won the Bloody Scotland Pitch Perfect 2020 prize for new writers. She lives in Edinburgh with her two children. - Doors: 6.30pm, event starts: 7pm Tickets are £3 , there is also Ticket & Book option which includes a signed copy of The Maiden.
