Event Description
"An expertly-told story that captures the detail and spirit of Antarctic exploration, then and now. Not only a compelling novel, but an excellent tribute to Scott and his men." Sir Ranulph Fiennes
DEAD MEN's home village launch. Copies of the book will be on sale, and I'd love to sign them if you want me to. I'll be giving a couple of readings, as well as answering any questions about the book you may have. My favourite local band, Cathedrals & Cars, will be providing a musical backdrop to the readings, and their debut EP, SKY LANTERNS, will be on sale (and maybe they'll even sign copies). Beer is being provided by St. Peter's Brewery, Bungay. Space is limited, so be there on time. About DEAD MEN The discovery of Captain Scott’s body in the Antarctic in November 1912 started a global obsession with him as a man and an explorer. One mystery remains – why did he and his companions spend their last ten days in a tent 11 miles from the relative safety of a large food and fuel depot? Birdie Bowers, an infamously secretive painter, is a woman with a dead man’s name. Her parents were obsessed by her namesake, Henry ‘Birdie’ Bowers, one of Scott’s companions. Almost a hundred years after his death, she is determined to discover what really happened to him. On her way to view some of the things recovered from Scott’s tent, she collapses, and is rescued by Adam, a bored computer geek, who falls in love with her, to the extent of agreeing to travel to the Antarctic with her to discover the site of Scott’s tent, now under 30 metres of ice. |
