Gardner’s debut novel, I Coriander, won the Nestle Gold Award. She is also author of The Weather Woman and a writer of children’s books, including the Carnegie Medal-winning Maggot Moon. In her latest, The Bride Stone, Duval Harrington returns from prison in France to find Muchmore in chaos and his despicable father dead. His father has left him the estate with one stipulation – he must be married or lose everything. With hours remaining, Duval is prepared to walk away until he stumbles on a wife sale. He is horrified by what he sees until his eyes light on the intriguing figure of Edmée. He bids for Edmée and marries her. This is only the beginning of his troubles as Edmée is not who she says she is.
Discussions are chaired by reviewer for the FT Suzi Feay.
