Last month saw the start of the literary autumn/winter season in West Dunbartonshire Libraries with the visit of Anne Donovan to Dumbarton Library.
An attentive and appreciative audience heard Anne read from her latest novel, ‘Being Emily’, the story of a young Glasgow girl who is obsessed with the life and work of Emily Brontë.
There followed an entertaining question and answer session, during which Anne responded to a variety of questions from the audience. These ranged from the prospects of her first novel, ‘Buddah Da’, being made into a film, to whether she herself, like Fiona in the book, was fascinated by Emily Brontë.
This was an ideal way to get the post-festival literary season underway, and now we look forward to the visit of Jess Smith to Balloch Library on October 2nd, under the auspices of the Lennox Literary Society. For more details on Jess Smith's visit, see below.
