What's On
Fiona Valpy - Author Talk

Join Fiona Valpy as she discusses her most recent book, The Dark Side of the Moon, an unforgettable story of wartime courage, enduring love and a decades-long search for the truth. Many of her previous novels are set before or during World War 2 in both Scotland and France and address topics such as wartime resilience, hope and loss. Fiona will also talk about her inspirations and research methods.
About the Author: Fiona Valpy is an acclaimed bestselling author of eleven novels, with world-wide sales totalling over three million copies. Her books have been translated into more than thirty languages and have held the number 1 position on the Amazon Kindle charts in the USA, UK and Australia, as well as being Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestsellers.
Fiona spent seven years living in France, before returning to live in Scotland. Her love for both countries, their people and their histories, has found its way into the books she’s written. She draws inspiration from the stories of strong women, especially during the years of the Second World War, and her meticulous historical research enriches her writing with an evocative sense of time and place.
Fiona is a patron of the Women’s Prize for Fiction, Birnam Book Festival, The Teapot Trust and The Little Sherpa Foundation. When not writing, she enjoys daily dips in the River Tay and walking in the hills around her home in Scotland.
