What Happened on Benbecula?

Join award-winning author Graeme Macrae Burnet as he introduces his dark and intense psychological novel, Benbecula. Set on the eponymous Scottish island, Graeme reimagines a real-life triple murder and its aftermath, following the brother of the murderer as he struggles to move on from this violent episode in his past. Exploring the themes of isolation, madness, and how our histories can haunt us, Benbecula is a gripping and atmospheric journey into our inner darkness. At this Conversations on the Coast event, Graeme will reveal what it was about this remote island and the brutal crime that took place there that inspired him to craft his latest book, which was shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for historical fiction. Doors open at 6:30pm. A welcome whisky, gin or soft drink is included with your ticket price.
