Rewriting Time: The Art of Historical Fiction
14 March 2026, 2.00pm - 3.00pm
A Farnham Literary Festival EVENT
Join three leading voices in historical fiction as they discuss why the genre continues to captivate readers.
Some of the most compelling crime thrillers of this century have transported readers into the past. Join three leading voices in historical fiction as they discuss why the genre continues to captivate readers. S.J. Parris, No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the hugely popular Giordano Bruno series set in Tudor England; Matthew Sweet, whose Bookish is adapted from the major TV drama set in post‑WW2 London; and Anna Mazzola, whose The Book of Secrets won the CWA Gold Dagger Crime Novel of the Year in 2025, come together for a lively discussion. The panel is hosted by Jack Jewers, author of The Lost Diary of Samuel Pepys, named the Times Historical Fiction Book of the Year.
Doors open at 1.30pm, talk starts at 2pm.
