The Queen's Lender - Jean Fraser
Winner of the Hawthornden Fellowship.
Winner of the Lavigny International Writer's Fellowship
Longlisted for the HWA Debut Crown Award.
Join Jean Fraser to discuss her novel The Queen's Lender, a historical story of George Heriot and the Court of King James.
The event will be facilitated by Kenneth Simpson, former Head of English at George Heriot's School.
‘A wonderful insight into life in 17th century
Edinburgh and London, The Queen’s Lender
is about power, suspicion, religious strife,
persecution and conspiracy. Fast-paced,
informative, gripping and beautifully written,
seen through the turbulent years of the reign of
James VI of Scotland and James I of England.
Royal court intrigue at it’s finest.’
