This is a livestreamed event from Edinburgh International Book Festival.
Bursting onto the literary scene with her skilful debut, After You’d Gone, Maggie O’Farrell has remained an inimitable creative force ever since. Today’s event celebrates her 25th anniversary as a beloved writer of works encompassing her breathtaking memoir I Am, I Am, I Am; captivating The Marriage Portrait; and acclaimed Hamnet (soon to be a major new film starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley). Join O'Farrell for a fascinating and lively reflection on her writing life and unforgettable stories. Chaired by Book Festival director Jenny Niven.
