Join us for an in-conversation with Emily Maguire, multi-award winning author of Love Objects and The Isolated Incident. Inspired by the fabled Pope Joan, Rapture is a powerful exploration of gender, identity, and faith. For centuries people have argued over the story of a female pope. Catholic cover-up or anti-clerical invention? Feminist icon or symbol of women’s inherent wickedness?
Includes drinks, nibbles, book sales and author signing.
