Carol Lovekin: Genre, Ghosts & the Gothic – Saturday 28th April 11:30 at Mark Waghorn Designs “Reading Room”
The author of the award winning “Ghostbird” presents her new book“Snow Sisters” and talks about genre, ghosts and the gothic.
Snow Sisters: Two sisters, an old house and Angharad a girl who cannot leave.
Praise for the book:
A stunning work of literary fiction wrapped around a ghost story – Kendra Olson
I think the author has created a new genre, the lyrical Gothic – Eve Merrick-Williams
A book that defies genre … literary fiction, with magical realism and feminism. I was unprepared for the exquisiteness of the authors writing, the glorious prose and the poetic and lyrical nature of the wording – Leah Moyse
Carol Lovekin is a feminist and a flâneuse. She writes contemporary fiction laced with Welsh Gothic exploring family relationships between sisters, and mothers and daughters. Her work has been described as ‘lyrical’ and ‘spellbinding.’ She drinks a lot of tea.

Snow Sisters: Dwy chwaer mewn hen dŷ ac AngharadTwo sisters, an old house and Angharad, merch nid yw’n medru gadael.
Canmoliaeth i’r llyfr:
Gwaith ffuglen lenyddol syfrdanol wedi ei weu o gwmpas stori ysbryd – Kendra Olson
Rwy’n credo bod yr awdur wedi creu ffurf newydd, gothig telynegol – Eve Merrick-Williams
Mae Carol Lovekin yn ffeminydd a flâneuse. Mae hi’n ysgrifennu ffuglen gyfoes gyda rhywfaint o Othig Cymreig ac yn archwilio perthnasau rhwng chwiorydd a mamau a’i merched. Disgrifiwyd ei gwaith fel ‘telynegol’ a ‘chyfareddol.’ Mae hi’n yfed llawer o de. Trydar: @carollovekin
