Im head of programming Connor Boyle for this episode were looking back through history to the era of Mary Stuart, better known as Mary, Queen of Scots, the 16th century scottish monarch story, one that involves pageantry, plot twists, imprisonment and her eventual demise, is the background setting were a new novel from Flora Carr, the Tower.
Carrs Riding has appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines, but the Tower is her first novel harnessing the power of the imagination amid a real historical tale.
Joining Flora in conversation for this episode is writer Francesca Peacock, who listeners may remember from her appearance on this podcast to discuss her book pure wit, about another historical figure, Margaret Cavendish.
Lets join Francesca now with more Flora.
Carr was named one of the 40 London Library emerging writers in 2020 2021.
She won the Vogue Talent contest and was shortlisted for the 2018 versus Pritchett short story Prize.
Her work has appeared in Time magazine, British L Radio Times and the Observer New Review.
The Tower, which I've got a copy of here, is her first novel.
I'm so excited to have the chance to talk to you about the tower.
I so loved reading it with its rich mix of historical details and also such a vividly imagined drama.
