We are holding a talk by Catherine Chanter about her forthcoming novel The Well in Woodstock Methodist Church on Tuesday 10th March at 7pm.
'The Well asks us where do we seek refuge, and why? And perhaps it shows us that what is left, after all is suffered, is love. Battered, weathered, at the end of the novel it comes cresting over the hill, a herald of relief. Bravo, that woman. I loved this book!' (Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist)
'The story has the pulse of a thriller combined with a futuristic evocation of a Big Brother society and an Ibsenite fable of humans faced with limited resources. The Well was so astoundingly assured that I wondered if AS Byatt had adopted a pseudonym... [Catherine Chanter is] a brilliant writer.' (Allison Pearson, author of I Don't Know How She Does It, presenting the Lucy Cavendish Award)
