SUMMARY:Lost to the Sea: An Evening with Lisa Woollett
DESCRIPTION:An evening of conversation with Lisa Woollett\, a naturalist and author\, to celebrate the release of her newest book: Lost to the Sea. \nOn a series of coastal walks\, Lisa Woollett takes us on an illuminating journey\, bringing to life the places where mythology and reality meet at the very edges of Britain and Ireland. \nFrom Bronze Age settlements on the Isles of Scilly and submerged prehistoric forests in Wales\, to a Victorian amusement park on the Isle of Wight and castles in the air off County Clare\, Lisa draws together archaeology\, meetings with locals and tales from folklore to reveal how the sea has forged\, shaped and often overwhelmed these landscapes and communities. \n‘An immersive and lyrically personal journey through deep-time and modern tides’ RAYNOR WINN \n‘Wondrous\, elegant and haunting\, Lost to the Sea is a fascinating alternative history of the fractured\, flooded and eroded edges of Britain and Ireland’ PHILIP HOARE

SUMMARY:An Evening with Karen Powell - Putney
DESCRIPTION:We’re thrilled to be joined by Karen Powell to discuss her latest novel Fifteen Wild Decembers.\n\n\nWe’re thrilled to be joined by Karen Powell to discuss her latest novel Fifteen Wild Decembers\, a creative reimagining of the life of Emily Bronte\, which was shortlisted for the Nero book awards 2023. The evening will be chaired by Georgina Moore\, author of The Garnett Girls. \nIsolated from society\, the Brontë children spend all their time inventing elaborate fictional realms or roaming the wild moors above their family home in Yorkshire. When the time comes for them to venture out into the world to earn a living\, each of them struggles to adapt\, but for Emily the change is catastrophic. Torn from the landscape she loves and no longer able to immerse herself in the fantastical world of Gondal that she and her younger sister Anne have created\, she is simply unable to function. \nAs a child\, Emily witnessed a rare natural phenomenon. After weeks of rain\, the peaty soil on Crow Hill became so sodden that the earth exploded. Since then\, her life has been dogged by tragedy and repeated failures. Her sisters are desperate to escape their unsatisfactory work as governesses and now the life of her brother Branwell\, the hope of the family\, is in turmoil. To the outside world\, Emily appears taciturn\, unexceptional; but beneath the surface her mind is in a creative ferment\, ready to burst forth. As the pressure on her grows\, another violent phenomenon is about to take place\, one that will fuse her imaginary world of Gondal with the landscape Emily loves so passionately\, and which will change the literary world forever. \n“Wild and captivating\, this takes us right to the heart of the Brontës’ story of creativity\, sisterhood and survival.”—Samantha Ellis\, author of How To Be a Heroine \n“I was spellbound by this fictionalised portrait\, brimming with the texture of the dank\, wild hills of Yorkshire\, the weight and power of grief\, and the contentment to be found in daring to forge one’s own path in the world. Delightful and intriguing; each sentence is so sharp\, so shining.”—Elizabeth Macneal\, author of Circus of Wonders \nKaren Powell was born in Rochester\, Kent. She left school at 16 but returned to education as a mature student to study English Literature at Lucy Cavendish College\, Cambridge. She lives in North Yorkshire. An early draft of The River Within was awarded a Northern Writers’ TLC ‘New Fiction Reads’ prize\, which seeks to support work-in-progress by new\, emerging and established writers across the North of England. \nGeorgina Moore grew up in London and lives on a houseboat on the River Thames with her partner\, two children and Bomber\, the Border Terrier. The Garnett Girls is her first novel and is set on the Isle of Wight\, where Georgina and her family have a holiday houseboat called Sturdy. Georgina is working on her second novel\, Walnut Tree Island\, which will be published in 2025

SUMMARY:An Evening With Kaliane Bradley at Waterstones Putney
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to be joined by Kaliane Bradley to celebrate the publication of The Ministry of Time.\n\n\nWe are thrilled to be joined by Kaliane Bradley to celebrate the publication of The Ministry of Time. Bradley’s dizzyingly assured debut is the book everyone is talking about\, and we’re truly honoured to be able to host her here in Putney. \n \nIn the near future\, a disaffected civil servant is offered a lucrative job in a mysterious new government ministry gathering ‘expats’ from across history to test the limits of time-travel. \nHer role is to work as a ‘bridge’: living with\, assisting and monitoring the expat known as ‘1847’ – Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned\, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin’s doomed expedition to the Arctic\, so he’s a little disoriented to find himself alive and surrounded by outlandish concepts such as ‘washing machine’\, ‘Spotify’ and ‘the collapse of the British Empire’. With an appetite for discovery and a seven-a-day cigarette habit\, he soon adjusts; and during a long\, sultry summer he and his bridge move from awkwardness to genuine friendship\, to something more. \nBut as the true shape of the project that brought them together begins to emerge\, Gore and the bridge are forced to confront their past choices and imagined futures. Can love triumph over the structures and histories that have shaped them? And how do you defy history when history is living in your house? \n \n“Holy smokes this novel is an absolute cut above! Kaliane Bradley leaps into a storytelling league of her own. This book is a deadly serious speculative fiction but it is also one of the funniest books I’ve read in years. It is exciting\, surprising\, intellectually provocative\, weird\, radical\, tender and moving. I missed it when I was away from it. I will hurry to re-read it. Make room on your bookshelves for a new classic.” – Max Porter \n“As electric\, charming\, whimsical and strange as its ripped-from-history cast. (Extremely.) I loved every second I spent wrapped up in Kaliane Bradley’s stunning prose\, the moments that made me laugh and those that made my heart ache. This is a book that surprises as much as it delights\, and I’m already impatiently waiting for whatever Bradley concocts next” – Emily Henry \n \nKaliane Bradley is a British-Cambodian writer and editor based in London. Her short fiction has appeared in Somesuch Stories\,The Willowherb Review\, Electric Literature\, Catapult\, and Extra Teeth\, among others. She was the winner of the 2022 Harper’s Bazaar Short Story Prize and the 2022 V.S. Pritchett Short Story Prize.

SUMMARY:Arts Society lecture: The Stained Glass Windows of William Morris and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Picture: Caritas in Red stained glass window by Edward Burne-Jones. Pic: Rex Harris (c) \nThis lecture will look at the Pre-Raphaelite revival in stained glass windows pioneered by William Morris and his associates. It has been organised by The Arts Society South West London and the lecturer will be Dr Geri Parlby. \nAt the height of the great Gothic revival in church architecture during the 19th century stained glass windows enjoyed a renaissance. Already famous for their innovative designs\, William Morris\, Edward Burne Jones\, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Ford Madox-Brown were responsible for some of the most beautiful stained glass windows of the 19th and 20th centuries. \nThis lecture will look at the history of how ‘The Firm’ brought church windows to life with their new vibrant colours and sensuous designs. The languid faces of the saints and holy family often modelled on real life portraits of their friends and lovers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-members of The Arts Society are welcome but are encouraged to make a donation to the Society at the door. Any contribution will be deducted from their subscription if they then decide to join. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Geri Parlby\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeri is a former Fleet Street journalist and film PR. She has a first-class honours degree in History and Theology\, a Masters in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute and a Theology doctorate from Roehampton University in London. She has been lecturing for the past 14 years both in the UK and internationally. She is also principal lecturer on The Arts Society South West Area’s History of Art course and is an Honorary Research Fellow at Roehampton University.
