The Sealwoman’s Gift, Saturday November 10, 6pm

Celebrated broadcaster, reporter and journalist Sally Magnusson, will be joining in the Hoolie fun on Saturday evening to discuss her first novel, The Sealwoman’s Gift. The BBC presenter’s spectacular tale, about real life Icelander Asta, a pastor’s wife who is snatched from her island by Algiers pirates during a brutal raid in 1627, was released last year to wide critical acclaim. Join Sally as she separates the facts from the fiction of this historical novel and reflects upon her own journey from truth-telling reporter to creative story-teller.
