Ciar Byrne is a local writer and journalist whose debut novel A Deadly Discovery is the first in a series of Golden Age murder mysteries starring Virginia Woolf and her sister Vanessa Bell as a pair of unlikely amateur sleuths. She will talk about how her book is inspired by the landscape and history of Lewes and the surrounding countryside, including Woolf’s home at Monk’s House in Rodmell and Charleston farmhouse where Bell lived with fellow artist Duncan Grant. When she is not dreaming up Agatha Christie-style plots involving members of the Bloomsbury Group, Ciar is a gardening journalist for the Daily Mail and The Lady magazine, and a former reporter for The Independent, The Guardian and Private Eye.

One of the leading social historians of our time, David Kynaston was born in Aldershot in 1951 and has been a professional historian since the 1970s. He has written on a wide range of subjects, including the Victorian working class, the City of London, cricket, and the private school question. But he is best known for his multi-volume social history of post-war Britain, Tales of a New Jerusalem. The most recent instalment, A Northern Wind: Britain, 1962-65, was published in September 2023.
