Ruth Thomas, Super Girl
£
Title: Ruth Thomas, Super Girl
Location: The Edinburgh Bookshop
Description: We are very excited to announce this event with local author Ruth Thomas! Ruth is the author of the novel, ‘Things to Make and Mend’ and her new short story collection, ‘Super Girl’, is recently published.
In a review piece for The Edinburgh Evening News, Andrew wrote: “….[Ruth Thomas', 'Super Girl'] is Scottish writing at its very best: we are not a nation of foul-mouthed junkie football hooligans as lesser writers have characterised us but real people with hopes, dreams and loves, and while the reality of our days sometimes refuses to match the heart-felt aspirations or survive the turmoil of daily grind, we are living lives every bit as richly-imagined as any South American magical realist and every bit as energetic and as surprising as a New York night.
This is polished, practised, perfected writing as it should be written – and read and, better still, enjoyed.”
Tickets for this event are £5 each, available from the bookshop and redeemable against a purchase on the night.
