  • Ellie Levenson

    Pickering Book Tree 43a Market Place, Pickering

    Join us for a gripping and heart wrenching locked room drama from Ellie Levenson, who is certainly a debut novelist to watch! Sarah Jessica Parker “adored Room 706” and said of the novel that it is “as tender as it is surprising… a gripping interrogation of womanhood” (which is) “poignant, immersive, and utterly human”. Room 706 is a thrilling, thought provoking and deeply compelling story which will make a fantastic book club choice, so we’re very excited to chat with Ellie about it at this event!

    From the lonely heights of mountains to the womblike depths of caves, from sacred monuments and pilgrimage sites, to art made by our Neolithic ancestors and today's sculptors, stone has always drawn us in. In The Spirit of Stone, Wyl Menmuir brings together social history, folklore and encounters with the landscapes to explore the many ways in which rock and earth ground us and form part of our identities, histories and futures.
