Essie Chambers | Swift River (FULL EVENT) | FANE

What if the price of knowing who you are is losing the only family you've ever known? Join us for a night in with award-winning writer and producer Essie Chambers, to celebrate the release of her alluring novel, Swift River.
Summer, 1987. On the sweltering streets of the dying New England mill town of Swift River, sixteen-year-old Diamond Newbury is desperately lonely. It's been seven years since her father disappeared, and while her mother is determined to move on, Diamond can't distance herself from his memory.
When Diamond receives a letter from a relative she has never met, she unearths long-buried secrets of her father's past and discovers a family and heritage she never knew she was missing.
Hosted by Curtis Sittenfeld, together they dissect themes of personal and historical grief, the bonds of family, and the human instinct for resilience.
A Night In with Essie Chambers was originally broadcast on Mon 15 Jul 2024.
