60. Sophie Haydock & Stephen May: Stranger than Fiction?
Stephen May and Sophie Haydock discuss how they reimagined real life historical figures and events in their latest novels, Green Ink and Madame Matisse.
Green Ink explores the disappearance of firebrand socialist MP Victor Grayson in 1920, while Madame Matisse reimagines in dramatic detail the stories of Henri Matisse’s wife Amelie, lover Lydia and daughter Marguerite. Discover the research and imagination required to bring historical figures back to life on the page, and where the line between truth and fiction blurs.
This event has a limited number of bursary tickets available for people who might not otherwise be able to afford them. You can apply here.
This event is part of our Novel Ideas strand.
