Six Book Challenge

An Audience with Jenni Mills

Thursday 25 March 2010
7:30pm
Swindon Central Library

Jenni Mills will be visiting the Central Library to talk about her latest book ‘The Buried Circle.’

Set in and around the enigmatic village of Avebury with it’s mysterious stone circle this thrilling tale alternates between the present day and pre-war Avebury, a fascinating time when Keiller, who features as one of the main protagonists, was rebuilding the circle.

A pacy literary thriller, ‘The Buried Circle’ is a gripping blend of fact and fiction, peopled with extraordinary characters and has a local interest appeal.

Jenni spent time in Avebury talking to local people and researching for her book so this is a talk not to be missed.

Books will be available on the night to buy courtesy of Waterstones and there will be time for Questions and answers and to get your books signed.

FREE tickets are available from the First Floor Help point at the Central library or you can reserve your place by phoning the Central library on 01793 463238.
