Surrey Group: Nammit, Crammit and Supper

Join the Surrey Group on Tuesday 8 July from 12pm for their next in-person lunchtime meet-up. Writer Andy Charman will talk on historical fiction, language, dialect, names and mindsets.

Crow Court is Andy’s prize-winning and innovative novel set in 19^th Century Dorset. It delves into the lives of the residents of Wimborne Minster and the consequences of two mysterious of deaths in the town. But the murder mystery is almost a sideshow in a novel that explores class, theatre, the coming of the railways, gas-lamps and the dying years of an ancient language – local dialect. I’ll talk about the choices one must make using language from a past age and joy of exploring mindsets from a long-gone era.

We’ll meet at The Seahorse, 52-54 The Street, Shalford, Guildford, GU4 8BU.

All writerly and bookish guests welcome!
