Louise Doughty: A Bird In Winter

Join Sunday Times bestselling writer Louise Doughty in conversation on stage at Compass Theatre, about her thrilling new novel, A Bird in Winter.

Bird is a woman on the run – leaving her job, her home, her life. It’s a day she thought might come, and one she’s prepared for. As she flees north using multiple disguises, Bird must work out who exactly is on her trail, and who – if anyone – she can trust. Is her greatest fear that she will be hunted down, or that she will never be found?

‘At the heart of this nail-bitingly tense and compelling spy novel is a lonely and haunted protagonist who stays in the mind long after the final page has turned.’ Paula Hawkins

‘Clever, twisty and propulsive.’ Claire Fuller

Louise Doughty’s novels include Platform Seven, recently filmed for a major new ITV series; Black Water, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year; the bestseller Apple Tree Yard, which was adapted for BBC One; and Whatever You Love, nominated for the Costa Novel Award and the Women’s Prize for fiction.
