Secret Voices - Sarah Gristwood

Tickets - Adult £13 Under 25 £6.50

Venue - The Astor Theatre, Deal 

Journalist, author, broadcaster and local resident, Sarah Gristwood’s latest book – an anthology of diary entries by women throughout history – is filled with unexpected twists and turns. It contains a host of entries from over a hundred women’s lives, from more than 20 countries, spanning four centuries. Described by The Telegraph as “echoing the randomness of real life, it is a delightfully mixed bag.” From a diarist “frittering her day away” in 1848 to Barbara Pym buying a “utility brassière” in 1943 to Emma Thompson’s swearing about her frock during the filming of Sense and Sensibility in 1995, Sarah shares with us the secret lives of women in her “sizzling and addictive” book.

This event lasts approximately one hour, followed by a book signing.
Tickets are unreserved and doors open approximately 30 minutes before the event starts.
