About The Event

Join us on International Womens Day to celebrate Josephine Taylor's debut novel, Eye of a Rook.

In 1860s London, Arthur sees his wife, Emily, suddenly struck down by a pain for which she can find no words, forced to endure harmful treatments and reliant on him for guidance. Meanwhile, in contemporary Perth, Alice, a writer, and her older husband, Duncan, find their marriage threatened as Alice investigates the history of hysteria, female sexuality and the treatment of the female body – her own and the bodies of those who came before.

Josephine Taylor will be appearing in conversation with Cassandra Atherton.

This event will take place on Zoom. The Zoom meeting details form part of your ticket, emailed to you after registration. 

Praise for the Book

'A masterful exploration of the tangled relationship between body and self; bold and intellectually tough, and intensely lyrical.'
