An evening with Lila Cain - The Blackbirds of St Giles

"A brilliant book about an essential and forgotten piece of our history. Devious plots, secret pasts and forbidden futures. Gritty and thrilling, with vivid and unforgettable characters"

It’s 1782, Daniel and his sister Pearl arrive in London with the world at their feet and their future assured. Having escaped a Jamaican sugar plantation, Daniel fought for the British in the American War of Independence and was rewarded with freedom and an inheritance. But life in Georgian London proves more nightmare than dream...

Marcia Hutchinson and Kate Griffin (as Lila Cain) will read from and discuss their book and sign copies.

The event is from 7 - 8.15PM on Thursday 9th October at Wave of Nostalgia. 74 Main Street, Haworth BD22 8DP and can be joined in person or by Zoom
