Interview with an Author: Live at the Red Lion Book Shop with Lucy Barker
07/07/23 • 39 min
We were very excited to join Lucy Barker at Red Lion Book Shop in Colchester to discuss her debut novel "The Other Side of Mrs Wood".
The Other Side of Mrs Wood is a tale set in a world of illusion and rivalry where the reader is deeply immersed in the high society of Victorian London. With each seance another layer of the rich tapestry of intricate lives is revealed and how closely their fates are interweaved. The story follows Mrs Wood as a celebrated medium in a world where other mediums are either being revealed as frauds or seemingly outshining her with their more elaborate displays. After hearing a yawn at one particular gathering Mrs Wood decides something needs to be done. Enter Miss Finch.
