Waterstones Milton Keynes, supported by the Milton Keynes Literary Festival, are delighted to welcome internationally bestselling author - and Stony Stratford resident - Sarah Pinborough to the store on Wednesday 4th June at 7pm. The award-winning author of New York Times bestselling breakout novel (and hit Netflix show) Behind Her Eyes, returns with a haunting gothic novel about a house - and a marriage - gone terribly wrong.
After an accident that nearly kills her, Emily and her husband, Freddie, move form London to a beautiful Dartmoor country house called Larkin Lodge. The house is gorgeous, but to Emily, something about it feels deeply wrong.
Old boards creak at night, fires go out and books fall from the shelves, and all of it stems from the terrible presence she feels in the second-floor room. But things only happen when Emily is alone, so are they really happening at all? Freddie doesn't notice anything odd, and is happy with their chance for a fresh start.
Emily however, starts to believe that the house is being haunted by someone who was murdered in it, though she can find no evidence of a wrongful death. As bizarre events pile up and her marriage starts to crumble, Emily becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about Larkin Lodge.
But if the house has secrets, so do Emily and her husband. And they live here now...
Tickets for this event cost £5.00 and are available at the link. All ticketholders will receive a complimentary beverage. Sarah's book will be available to purchase on the night, and she will be staying after the talk to sign and dedicate copies. We look forward to welcoming you for this exciting event!
