Author Event: Anne Keer and The Wildness

We are excited to welcome author Anne Keer to Elderwood Books for an author talk and signing for her debut novel with Honno Press, The Wildness.

This eco-historical novel follows Hannah Sentence, a young woman increasingly disturbed by her husband Walter’s unyielding desire to transform the land around their estate into an elite Gentleman’s Park. As plans unfold, local people will face eviction, an old way of life lost and an ancient oak tree felled. A symbol of resistance, wildness and a young woman’s love affair with nature, the tree embodies Hannah’s struggle for a way of being and of belonging. Can she save the oak and at what cost to herself and others?

Tickets are £5 including a drink on arrival. Books are available to buy.
