An evening of conversation with two Women's Prize shortlisted authors, Rozie Kelly and Marcia Hutchinson, hosted by writer Imani Thompson. Rozie Kelly, a West Yorkshire novelist who won the 2024 NorthBound Book Award, reads from her debut Kingfisher, a novel of queer desire, ambition and obsession following a creative writing academic fixated on a lauded author colleague. Marcia Hutchinson, a former lawyer and MBE recipient, presents The Mercy Step, a tender and sharp-witted portrait of a young girl navigating Black British family life and survival in 1960s Bradford. The ticket price includes a glass of wine or a soft drink.
