Donna lived in Venice for thirty years and now divides her time between Switzerland and Italy. She has won the CWA Macallan Silver Dagger for Fiction.

Thursday 23rd April, 6.30pm

You're invited on a journey into the darker side of motherly love . . .

Motherhood in fiction is often portrayed as tender, blissful perfection but, as every mother knows, there are darker sides too - loss, despair, fear, exhaustion, confusion. Join leading suspense authors Sarah Vaughan and Lucy Atkins at Heffers as they discuss why they are drawn to the complicated reality of motherhood, and why this intensity and dysfunction is rich material for any writer.

Sarah Vaughan is a former Guardian journalist and the author of four novels, including the Sunday Times bestseller Anatomy of a Scandal. Her latest is 'Little Disasters'. Lucy Atkins is a Sunday Times books critic, a Costa Book Awards judge, and the award winning author of four suspense novels and several non-fiction books. Her most recent novel is 'Magpie Lane'.

Thursday 30th April, 6.30pm

We are delighted to welcome Kasia Boddy to Heffers for a talk on her richly illustrated new book 'Blooming Flowers: A Seasonal History of Plants and People'.

'The bright yellow of a marigold and the cheerful red of a geranium, the evocative fragrance of a lotus or a saffron-infused paella - there is no end of reasons to love flowers. Ranging through the centuries and across the globe, Kasia Boddy looks at the wealth of floral associations that has been passed down in perfumes, poems and paintings; in the design of buildings, clothes and jewellery; in songs, TV shows and children's names; and in nearly every religious, social and political ritual'.


Dr Kasia Boddy teaches American Literature at the University of Cambridge. Her previous books include Boxing: A Cultural History, The American Short Story Since 1950, and Geranium. She lives in Cambridge, UK.

Wednesday 6th May, 7pm

Venue: Madingley Hall, Madingley, Cambridge. CB23 8AQ

Heffers and the Centre for Creative Writing at Madingley Hall are delighted to present an evening with bestselling author Victoria Hislop, who will be discussing 'Those Who Are Loved', her latest, gripping novel set in wartime Greece.

'Athens, 1941. Nazi forces occupy Greece ... and a nation falls apart. Victoria Hislop’s latest Sunday Times Number One bestseller takes you into the darker days of Greek history and, through the eyes of its extraordinary heroine, illuminates the courage it takes to live in peace. It’s both a beautifully woven love story and a spellbinding, heart-breaking depiction of a country torn apart by hatred.'

Tuesday 12th May, 6.30pm

Join bestselling author Rory Clements as he returns to Heffers with his new thriller, 'Hitler's Secret' - the fourth book in the Cambridge-based Tom Wilde series.

Autumn 1941. The war is going badly for Britain and its allies. If Hitler is to be stopped, a new weapon is desperately needed. In Cambridge, professor Tom Wilde is approached by an American intelligence officer who claims to know of such a weapon - one so secret even Hitler himself isn't aware of its existence. If Wilde can smuggle the package out of Germany, the Third Reich will surely fall. But it is only when he is deep behind enemy lines that Wilde discovers why the Nazis are so desperate to prevent the 'package' falling into Allied hands. And as ruthless killers hunt him through Europe, a treacherous question hangs over the mission: if Hitler's secret will win them the war, why is Wilde convinced it must remain hidden?
