Dormouse Books: Author Event

Dormouse Books will continue their author events on Thursday 12th September from 7pm – 9pm at Reunion Deli, Strutt Street, Belper.

Ben Masters will discuss his non fiction book The Flitting.

In March 2020, Ben Masters’ father was diagnosed with terminal caner. He was never happier than when outdoors, and spent his free time chasing butterflies. Despite his attempts to share this passion with his son, Ben was resistant. But as his father spent his final months confined to the house, unable, for the first summer of his life, to follow the butterfly cycle, Ben became his connection to the outside world.

Blending memoir with nature writing, literary biography and pop-culture history, this is an absorbing account of loss and grief and how moments of trauma can trigger poignant transformations.

The event is free to attend and snacks are provided!
