McLellan Book Festival: Sara Sheridan

New for 2024 - the McLellan Book Festival. To run alongside Wee Mac Children’s Book Festival and the McLellan Arts Festival.

Sara Sheridan is fascinated by diverse and hidden history. She has written more than 20 books in a variety of genres including Scottish Book of the Year 2022, The Fair Botanists. Her remapping of Scotland according to women’s history in 2018 was chosen by the David Hume Institute as the First Minister’s most important title of that year.

Set in Glasgow in 1846 The Secrets of Blythswood Square is a romp through Scotland’s largest Victorian city. From virulent anti-Kirk campaigners to an inconvenient collection of erotic art, fledgling photographer, Ellory McHale and Glasgow heiress, Charlotte Buchan form a friendship that changes both their lives. This book is the follow-up to Scottish Book of the Year winner, The Fair Botanists.
