For Adults
We are pleased to be able to offer five reading groups three paperback copies of WINDMILL HILL each. If you are interested, please email charlotte.gill@quercusbooks.co.uk with a short reason why your group would love to read it. WINDMILL HILL is a sharply witty and unsettling mystery novel from the author Magpie Lane, set in a Sussex windmill about the eccentric friendship of two very different women and their painful pasts.
MORE ABOUT THE BOOK: One night in a remote hunting lodge with a Hollywood director causes an international scandal that wrecks Astrid’s glittering stage career, and her marriage. Her ex-husband, the charismatic Scottish actor Magnus Fellowes, goes on to find global fame, while Astrid retreats to a disintegrating Sussex windmill.
Now 82, she lives there still, with a troupe of dachshunds and her long-suffering friend, Mrs Baker, who came to clean twenty years ago and never left. But the past is catching up with them. There has been an ‘Awful Incident’ at the windmill; the women are in shock. Then Astrid hears that Magnus, now on his death bed, is writing a tell-all memoir. Outraged, she sets off for Scotland, determined to stop him.
