The utterly brilliant @margietheorford is @harrogatefestivals Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival this weekend! She's taking The Eye of the Beholder on tour and we think these reviews say all you need to know about her new book: "A tale of love and abuse that is as powerful as it is elegant - and it grips like a vice, too" IAN RANKIN "Subtle, chilling to the bone and very contemporary. Margie Orford has a quietly understated, beautiful literary style" PETER JAMES "Orford truly understands the transformative power of violence for those who survive it and those who visit it upon others. It gives her writing visceral power" DAMIAN BARR "The acclaimed 'Queen of Crime fiction' in South Africa takes a further step into the dark. The result is as compelling as it is frightening and deeply thought provoking. The Eye of the Beholder is sure to play a key role in the ongoing debate about what women and men are, and can be, for each other in these violent times" JACQUELINE ROSE #readcanongate #TheEyeofTheBeholder #margieorford #harrogatecrimefestival #theakstonsoldpeculier
