Jenn Ashworth and Peggy Riley (2013 event)

Brought up as a Mormon, Jenn Ashworth has since become a powerful
voice in British fiction. She returned to Edinburgh with her
third novel, The Friday Gospels, the story of a Mormon family
that is by turns tragic and hilarious. Debut novelist Peggy Riley
has written Amity and Sorrow, an astonishing, moving book about a
woman and her children who flee from a religious cult. In this
event, chaired by Serena Field and recorded live at the 2013
Edinburgh International Book Festival, the two novelists discuss
their work and background.
