About this Event:

Happily ever after . . . but was it peace at Pemberley, romance with Rochester, magical after Manderely – what did happen ever after? Novelist Joanne Harris gives us her own picture of what might have happened after the last page was turned. Harris is an award-winning writer of many novels including Chocolat, which was made into an Oscar-nominated film. She is joined by Rob Pope, emeritus professor of English at Oxford Brookes University who will talk about rewriting other people’s work and projecting alternatives, in particular ‘the non/sense of endings’. 

Then we will be putting the same question to the audience so come prepared to share what you think might have happened to some of literature’s happy couples.
