Leeds Lit Fest presents

Inspiring the City is supported by Leeds Inspired, part of Leeds City Council.

Meet Leeds writer Frances Brody. Her three historical novels are set in working-class Leeds in the early part of the last century. Sisters on Bread Street, for which she received the HarperCollins Elizabeth Elgin award, is based on her mother’s stories. Frances started her writing life in radio and has written for theatre and television. She writes the popular Yorkshire-based murder mystery series, featuring Kate Shackleton, war widow turned investigator. The Body on the Train, eleventh in the series, is set in the Rhubarb Triangle.
