Deceiving Memories

Is it safe to revisit our past? Two local authors reflect on the powerful but unreliable memories which are central to their novels.

Dorset novelist, poet and playwright Gerald Killingworth launches his latest novel Under Druids’ Hill. A return to a place of childhood idyll leads to a shattering discovery. The past was not what it seemed and there is now a mystery to solve.

Paula Harmon, author of historical mystery fiction, will discuss her novel Murder Durnovaria (set in Roman Era Dorchester and part of her Murder Britannica series), in which revisiting the past turns into murder. Paula will also talk about how a buried memory is at the core of the first Margaret Demeray book The Wrong Sort to Die.
