Join us for a wonderful evening of bookish conversation with Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin to discuss her brilliant debut novel Ordinary Saints with Hattie Williams, author of Bitter Sweet.

Brought up in a devout household in Ireland, Jay is now living in London with her girlfriend, determined to live day to day and not think too much about either the future or the past. But when she learns that her beloved older brother, who died in a terrible accident, may be made into a Catholic saint, she realises she must at last confront her family, her childhood and herself. 

The festival brings together bestselling authors, sharp minds, and passionate readers for a weekend of inspiring conversation, readings, and a shared love of literature.

Iceland Noir celebrates darkness in all it’s forms. Hattie will appear alongside George RR Martin, Emily St John Mandel, Colm Toibin and Chris Whitaker. Festival passes on sale now.
