Louisa Treger: A Fatal Love – Ruth Ellis, Justice and the Stories We Tell

Louisa Treger : GUEST SPEAKER EVENT We are delighted to welcome acclaimed novelist and biographical fiction writer Louisa Treger to the Club for what promises to be a fascinating and thought-provoking evening. Louisa will discuss her latest novel, A Fatal Love , based on the life of Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be executed in Britain. While Ellis's story has often been reduced to a sensational crime, Treger's novel seeks to uncover the coercion, violence and abuse that lay behind the headlines. In this engaging talk, Louisa will explore the research and inspiration behind the book, her feminist reimagining of Ellis's life, and the enduring questions it raises about justice, domestic abuse and the treatment of women by the legal system. Seventy years after Ruth Ellis's execution, her family's campaign for a posthumous pardon has once again brought her story into the public eye, making this discussion particularly timely. Following the talk, there will be an opportunity for questions before members and guests are invited to join Louisa for an informal Club Supper. Tickets Members: £15 Guests: £20 Tickets include a glass of wine on arrival . A two-course Club Supper will be available after the talk for £22.50 per person . About the Speaker Louisa Treger is the critically acclaimed author of four novels: The Lodger , The Dragon Lady , Madwoman and The Paris Muse .
