Adam Sisman: The Private Lives of Spies
Sorry, this event has sold out
How did John le Carré’s complicated personal life relate to his writing and his previous work as a spy?
Following his death in 2020 Adam Sisman, le Carré’s acclaimed biographer has written a new book, The Secret Life of John le Carré, which sheds whole new light on David Cornwell’s life and work.
Sisman will be in conversation with novelist Jane Thynne, whose most recent books are Queen High and Widowland (under the pseudonym C.J. Carey).

Folkestone Book Festival is our annual celebration of books, ideas, reading and writing in its many magical forms. This year's festival has been curated by Jen Thatcher and James Harkin. Curating the festival for the first time, Jen and James have been inspired by Folkestone and how we can all come together through inspired discussion about global ideas, global thinking and possible futures.

This year's festival is for everyone and we want to make it possible for more people than ever before to be able to come together and enjoy a packed festival. To make this possible we have introduced a £5 ticket. This is a no questions asked ticket for those that may be struggling to afford events and performances.
