About An Evening with Kate Foster
Join us on Wednesday 28th May at 7pm, as we are thrilled to be welcoming bestselling author Kate Foster to the shop to celebrate the publication of her masterfully gripping new novel, The Mourning Necklace - inspired by the infamous real-life case of the woman who survived her own execution, Maggie Dickson.
They said I would swing for the crime and I did . . . I wear the rope-mark like a mourning necklace.
1724. In a tavern just outside Edinburgh, Maggie Dickson’s family drown their sorrows, mourning her death yet relieved she is gone. Shame haunts them. Hanged for the murder of her newborn child, passers-by avert their eyes from her cheap coffin on its rickety cart.
But as her family pray her soul rests in peace, a figure appears at the door.
It is Maggie. She is alive.
Bruised and dazed, Maggie has little time for her family’s questions. All that matters to her is answering this one: will they hang her twice?
