About The Event

On a train journey home from visiting an aunt in Bexhill, VG Lee found herself sitting across the aisle from an attractive woman wearing beige (at that time not a favourite colour). On the seat next to the woman was a plastic cat basket with something furry yet unmoving inside. The woman got out at the next station but she left behind a lasting impression - of beige and of the author witnessing something curious. The incident became the inspiration for this novel.

Making the ordinary extraordinary is one of VG Lee’s trademarks which she has without a doubt achieved here, and then some. You’ll laugh and cry - sometimes during the same sentence!

The Woman in Beige has long since needed a reprint and to have a special edition twenty years after its first publication is a joy.

VG Lee will be in conversation with Book Festival Director, Wayne…
