Overview
Granite Noir: Literature at Lunchtime with Sarah Armstrong
The threats people hold over us are most often imagined. We even create them for ourselves. In Sarah Armstrong’s latest thriller The Starlings of Bucharest, Ted wants to get away from the working-class community he was born into. Hoping to train as a journalist, he moves to London and slides into debt. Things look up when he is given the opportunity to go to Romania to interview an art film director and then attend a Moscow film festival. But others are watching him. And listening.
Chaired by Katalina Watt.
