Join Museum Patron Michael Nicholson who will give a fascinating talk on his new novel Dark Rosaleen. “A million dead. A million fled. A disaster on an unheard of scale. This was Ireland in 1845-50, the famine years, when the potato crop failed. A story of murder and betrayal, of a failed rebellion and a love to grow out of it, of a starving people held captive in a forgotten corner of what was then the world’s greatest and wealthiest Empire . An historical novel where nothing is exaggerated. There is no need. The truth is appalling enough. If you find the events and their outcome hard to believe, go to the history books and be convinced. Then decide who was to blame.”
Tickets at £12 each include refreshments and are now available through the Museum on 01428 642112 or email enquiries@haslemeremuseum.co.uk. There will also be an opportunity for purchasing copies of his book for signing.
