Edin Intl Book Fest: Maggie O’Farrell 2026

This event will be held in our new first floor creative learning space (upstairs). 

Beginning on a windswept peninsula on the west of Ireland and charting a journey spanning generations, Land is Maggie O’Farrell’s most ambitious novel to date. Following an Oscar nomination for the poignant screenplay of her novel Hamnet, O’Farrell discusses this epic new tale of colonisation and rebellion inspired by family history. We knew it already, but Land cements O’Farrell’s status as one of our finest writers working today. Chaired by Sam Baker.
