A Virtual Evening with Paula Hawkins & "The Blue Hour"

The National Writers Series is pleased to host #1 New York Times bestselling author Paula Hawkins, author of Girl on the Train, which sold more than 23 million copies worldwide and was made into a major motion picture, starring Emily Blunt.

Hawkins will take the City Opera House stage to talk with #1 bestselling author and NWS co-founder Doug Stanton about her propulsive and powerful new novel, The Blue Hour, praised by Lee Child as, “The best Paula Hawkins yet—by a tense and haunting mile.”

NWS is proud to livestream this event for our virtual audience.

Paula's new novel is a tale set on Eris Island unreachable from the Scottish mainland for twelve hours each day where only one inhabitant lives on the island’s sole house. It was once home to Vanessa, a famous artist and sculptor, who lost her fight to cancer, leaving behind the unsolved disappearance of her notoriously unfaithful husband twenty years ago. Now the island is home to her confidante, Grace, a solitary creature of the tides, content in her own isolation. But when a shocking discovery is made in an art gallery–human bones found in one of Vanessa’s art pieces– a visitor comes calling. And the secrets of Eris threaten to unravel.
