Two fierce landscapes. Two gripping thrillers. One unforgettable hour. From the scorching sands of the Sahara to the frozen silence of the Arctic, bestselling authors Amy McCulloch and Harry Whitehead conjure some of the planet’s most extreme environments – and the women who fight to survive them.
In Runner 13, Amy McCulloch – author of Breathless and a real-life adventurer – drops readers into the parched heat of the desert, where a supposedly elite endurance race hides deadly secrets. With sandstorms, sabotage and searing suspense, it’s a thriller that simmers with danger.
Harry Whitehead’s White Road journeys to the polar opposite – the icy vastness of the Canadian Arctic. As a polar bear stalks the ice and Big Oil hides its crimes, one woman is forced to make impossible choices in a frozen land where survival is never guaranteed.
Together, Amy and Harry will explore how climate, setting and moral peril shape their work – and why the extremes of nature bring out the extremes in human nature. Expect a taut, tense and timely discussion about eco-justice, resilience, and what it means to pit flawed, brilliant women against the world’s most unforgiving terrains.
Please note: this event lasts for one hour, followed by an opportunity to purchase the books upstairs in The Clearing and have them signed by the authors.
