Readers are invited to hear Alrene Hughes talk about her books at Radcliffe Library on Thursday 26 July.

Alrene’s latest novel “The Girl in the Pink Raincoat” (published by Head of Zeus) is set in Manchester and Bury during the Second World War.

While researching the novel, she was surprised to come across the notorious history of Warth Mills, and the hardships suffered by internees and the effects this had on their families and loved ones.

Alrene has also written “Martha’s Girl”, “The Golden Sisters” and “A Song in my Heart”.

The event starts at 7.30pm and refreshments will be provided. Admission is free, but tickets must be booked at https://www.warthmillsproject.com/events/audience-with-alrene-hughes/
