A Narrow Door

Sunday Times and internationally bestselling, multi prize-winning author Joanne Harris talks about A Narrow Door, the third book in the Marlby trilogy. It’s an incendiary moment for St Oswald’s school. For the first time in its history, a headmistress is in power, the gates opening to female students.

Rebecca Buckfast has spilled blood to reach this position. Barely 40, she is just starting to reap the harvest of her ambition. As the new regime takes on the old guard, the ground shifts and with it, the remains of a body are discovered. But Rebecca is here to make her mark. She’ll bury the past so deep it will evade even her own memory, just like she has done before.

Harris, who is known for the international bestselling novel Chocolat, will be interviewed by Alan Titchmarsh
