Byres Road Book Festival at Hillhead Library – Jenny Colgan

Jenny Colgan is one of the most successful and prolific authors of feel-good fiction in the UK. Her numerous Sunday Times, New York Times and internationally bestselling books include almost fifty novels, novellas, short stories and children’s books. She has sold more than four million copies in the UK alone, and ten million copies worldwide.

In Close Knit, Jenny Colgan returns to the remote Scottish Island of Carso where the pilot for the local airline is Morag, who stopped flying long haul to return home in Summer Skies. Unlike Morag, Gertie has never had the courage to leave the island where she was born. It's the only place she knows, but she can’t do anything without everyone knowing. Especially as she lives in a tiny cottage with her mother and grandmother who are the women at the heart of the local Knitting Circle; a group of strong, capable women who work hard, gossip, knit - and support each other through thick and thin.

Jenny will be in discussion with Hannah Moore.
