Author Talks: Inspiring ideas and in-depth conversations with the world's leading writers and thinkers.
Back with a haunting new tale, E.Lockhart arrives at Hot Docs Cinema to unveil We Fell Apart, a razor-sharp story of family secrets, seaside mysteries, and the lies we tell to survive. When an unexpected invitation leads Matilda to Hidden Beach, a crumbling sanctuary filled with strangers who claim to be kin, she’s forced to confront the truth about the father she’s never met and the past that’s been kept from her. It’s Lockhart at her most atmospheric: twisty, intimate, and impossible to shake.
Joining readers for this special evening, Lockhart will dive into the making of We Fell Apart, the allure of unreliable narrators, and why the bonds that break us can be just as powerful as the ones that hold us together. Expect revelations. Expect tension. Expect the kind of storytelling only she can deliver.
Lockhart will be joined on the Hot Docs stage with renowned author Nita Prose.
A book signing will follow the conversation. Copies of We Fell Apart are available online when purchasing your ticket, or in person at the event.
