Ajay Close’s latest novel, What We Did in the Dark, is a compelling portrait of trail-blazing Glasgow writer Catherine Carswell, as she fights for her freedom –and her life.
In Conversation with Ajay Close: What We Did in the Dark, Thursday 28 the October, 6pm to 7.30pm, Zoom, Free, 16+, Women* Only
In 1904 Cathie Macfarlane married Herbert Jackson, a soldier and artist she had only just met. Three months later, on honeymoon in Italy, he accused her of adultery with the Prince of Wales and tried to kill her. Within a year, their relationship was over: he was committed to an
asylum and she pursued a four-year battle to legally divorce him.
Join Ajay in conversation to hear the-story-behind-the- story.
