Cambridge Literary Festival is in full swing, and there are a few highlights not to miss this month. Introducing her brand-new series of novels, Val McDermid will be appearing at the University Arms on 1 October. The highly acclaimed author invites you to immerse yourself in her latest protagonist’s crime-steeped world, and strap yourself in for the first instalment of a series set to document critical moments from the past four decades. On 5 October, Bernardine Evaristo will grace West Road Concert Hall for an exclusive event presenting her intimate memoir Manifesto on Never Giving Up . Mapping her creative rebellion, Manifesto delves into the author’s commitment to ‘untold’ stories, following her move from the margins – slowly, but surely – into the spotlight. There’s also talks from Amartya Sen, Claire Keegan and Amor Towles to look forward to this October – head to the Cambridge Literary Festival website for more information. cambridgeliteraryfestival.com
