In Conversation with Meredith Miller

In conversation with Meredith Miller - Sophie Buchaillard will be hosting the launch of Meredith Miller’s new novel Cold Grace at the Swansea Cultural Institute. Join us for an evening of literary conversations, reading and to find out more about Meredith’s new novel, set in northern New England in the early 1900s.

Cold Grace is for you if you enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing. It is a dark historical novel defined by its frozen landscape. Both revenge tragedy and coming of age, it tells of an isolated community haunted by the ghost of its own violence.
