Rebecca Birrell & Megan Hunter: Love Against the Shadows

In Megan Hunter’s Days of Light, an enchanted afternoon in Bloomsbury-inspired Sussex ends in a tragedy which echoes across six decades, while Rebecca Birrell’s Venus, Vanishing evokes the heady, dangerous world of 1930s Berlin.

In both, beauty and risk intertwine, and queer love blazes defiantly under the shadow of loss, repression, and catastrophe.

Hear major new talent Birrell, and author of The End We Start From, Hunter, discussing art, hidden histories, and the fierce, fragile force of love.
