Bestselling Hodder & Stoughton author Sarah Harrison gives a talk on her latest novel Swan Music whose underlying theme is 'Love is strong. Fate is stronger'. Bryn Mancini was born under a lucky star. As he celebrates his silver wedding, he rejoices in a beautiful wife, handsome grown-up children and the house of his dreams overlooking a bend in the river. But something dreadful is drifting downstream to his door.

Apollonia Durrance is a misfit, the emotionally neglected youngest child of an entirely selfish marriage who thinks marrying for money might bring her the security she craves. But, on her wedding day, she once again meets the only man who has haunted her dreams – and two tragic destinies are set... Following the talk Sarah Harrison will sign copies of Swan Music.

The event is part of the Amsterdam Literary Festival (ALF) 2005. Reservations can be made via www.amsterdamliteraryfestival.com or by calling Pip on (020) 420 6775.

Note too that Sarah Harrison will be giving a workshop earlier in the day on How To Write A Blockbuster.
