Sarah Perry WORLD PREMIERE – Literary Salon – June 2018

Join us for the WORLD PREMIERE of Melmoth, the new novel from Sarah Perry.
For centuries, the mysterious dark-robed figure of Melmoth the Witness has wandered the globe, seeking those whose complicity have led humanity to its darkest moments. Helen Franklin comes across this legend while working as a literary translator in present day Prague. She’s quick to dismiss it as superstition but soon begins to feel she’s being watched… Terrifying and beautiful, Sarah Perry’s hugely inventive novel forces us to think deeply about our capacity for good and evil and how they often intertwine.
Melmoth is coming. What will you do?
