Kate Foster: The Repentants
Wed 19 Aug 2026 | 11:00 - 12:00
Live streaming from Edinburgh International Book Festival 
This event will be held in our new first floor creative learning space (upstairs). 

Betrayal flows through Kate Foster’s chilling new novel: the story of two women, bonded forever in their exile to the world’s most desolate prison. Based on the real-life attempt by Scottish landowners to annex Iceland, The Repentants tackles shame, sin, and survival while transporting us to a harsh 18th-century landscape. Join Foster, the Women’s Prize-longlisted author of The Maiden, as she shares the thrill of reimagining the lives of women of the past. Chaired by Natalie Jayne Clark.
Runtime: 1h 0m
