Caryl Lewis - Bitter Honey
Advertisement
Come and join Caryl for the launch of her new novel: Bitter Honey.
From 3 times winner of The Welsh Book of The Year award, a stunningly lyrical beautiful novel about a beekeeper and his daughter, told through eleven letters.
Bitter Honey is a novel which brings three very different women together into a broken Eden and examines how they rebuild it on their own terms.
CARYL LEWIS is a multi-award-winning Welsh novelist, children's writer, playwright and screenwriter. Her breakthrough novel Martha, Jac a Sianco is widely regarded as a modern classic of Welsh literature, and sits on the Welsh curriculum. The film adaptation - with a screenplay by Caryl herself – won six Welsh BAFTAS. Her other screenwriting work includes BBC/S4C thrillers Hinterland and Hidden.
In 2023, she won the Wales Book of the Year Award for the third time for her debut English novel Drift, making her the first writer ever to have won in both languages. She is a visiting lecturer in Creative Writing at Cardiff University, and lives with her family on a farm near Aberystwyth.
Caryl will be in conversation with Dr Elaine Canning from Swansea University's Cultural Institute.
