DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT\nHouse of Books & Friends are excited to be hosting yourself and Lila Cain on Saturday 1st February from 2pm – 4pm to discuss their book\, The Blackbirds of St. Giles. \n\nThere will be a discussion with both authors\, a chance for a Q&A\, and an opportunity to get your books signed! \nTickets \nYou can purchase a ticket-only option\, or you can purchase a copy of the book from us to act as a ticket; see options below: \n£5 Ticket only available here \n£18.99 for The Blackbirds of St. Giles to act as your ticket here \nAbout the book \nIt’s 1782\, Daniel and his sister Pearl arrive in London with the world at their feet and their future assured. Having escaped a Jamaican sugar plantation\, Daniel fought for the British in the American War of Independence and was rewarded with freedom and an inheritance. \nBut the city is not a place for men like Daniel and he is callously tricked and finds himself\, along with his sister Pearl\, in the rookeries of St Giles – a warren of dark and menacing alleyways\, filled with violence and poverty. \nThe underworld labyrinth is run by Elias\, a man whose cruelty knows no bounds. But under his dangerous rule is a brotherhood of Black men\, the Blackbirds of St Giles\, whose intention is to set their people free. \nCan Daniel use his strength\, wit and the fellowship of the other Blackbirds to overthrow Elias and truly find the freedom he fought for…? \nAbout the author(s) \nLILA CAIN is the pseudonym for two authors writing together. \nMARCIA HUTCHINSON worked as a lawyer before founding educational publishing company Primary Colours and was awarded an MBE for services to Cultural Diversity in 2010. Her solo debut novel Mercy is due for publication in summer 2025. \nKATE GRIFFIN won the Faber/ Stylist Magazine competition with Kitty Peck and the Music Hall Murders and went onto to write three more novels in the series before writing her first standalone novel\, Fyneshade.
