The Voyage Home: Pat Barker & Adelle Stripe at Durham Book Festival



Celebrate Durham author Pat Barker’s new book, The Voyage Home, with an exclusive dramatic live reading accompanied by new music from The Shining Levels.


The performance will be followed by a conversation between Pat and writer Adelle Stripe, in which they’ll discuss this highly anticipated follow-up to The Women of Troy and The Silence of the Girls, chronicling the experiences of women in the aftermath of the Trojan War.


Pat Barker was born in Yorkshire and began her literary career in her late thirties, when she took a short writing course taught by Angela Carter. In 1983 she was named as one of Granta's 20 'Best Young British Novelists'. She has published sixteen novels, including her masterful Regeneration Trilogy which includes the Booker Prize-winning The Ghost Road. The Silence of the Girls was shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction. The Women of Troy was a number one Sunday Times bestseller. The Voyage Home continues the series.
