Intertwining their live discussion with footage shot on location in Edinburgh, Alexander will invite the audience into his home to his study where he writes surrounded by painting and books.

He will take a trip to Valvona and Carolina, Scotland’s oldest delicatessen and Italian wine merchant which features in his books, and to Scotland Street itself, the New Town street which is as full of personality as any of the characters he creates.

He and Fiona Lindsay will delve into his illustrious career, his warm-hearted, humorous and wonderfully wise new novel, and what inspires him to keep writing.

Fiona Lindsay creates, curates and presents unique entertainment content for theatres, broadcast, digital and film.
