This highly anticipated event will take place on Saturday, 26th October, from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM in Glasgow with the venue soon to be announced.
Heather Morris, the phenomenal author behind the international Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, will be making a rare appearance all the way from New Zealand, joining Claire Mundell, BAFTA award-winning Executive Producer of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, and MD of Synchronicity Films for an in-depth conversation that is not to be missed.
