About this Event

Join bestselling Sunderland author Glenda Young for an illustrated talk on her new novel set during WW1 - The Toffee Factory Girls. It was inspired by Horner's toffee factory and Dainty Dinah toffee of Chester-le-Street and extensively researched in the Mackintosh toffee archives in York. Includes a raffle to win a free book - and there will be free toffee too!

Glenda Young’s bestselling sagas are set in the northeatst during WW1 and her cosy crimes are set in modern-day Scarborough. The crime series was shortlisted for Best New Crime Series with Val McDermid and Richard Osman in the Dead Good Readers Awards. Glenda is published by Headline. She has also written TV tie-in books for ITV’s Coronation Street and is an award-winning short story writer. She was one of six finalists in the coveted Clement & Le Frenais comedy award. Glenda also has a unique claim to fame, she's the writer of Riverside, a weekly soap opera published in The People's Friend magazine since 2016.
