Jennifer Morag Henderson at Forres Library

Join author Jennifer Morag Henderson at Forres Library for a fascinating talk on her latest book, Jofrid Gunn.

Jofrid Gunn is a unique insight into women's history in the North of Scotland. It tells the story of a woman who came from the Faroe Islands in the 16th century to marry into the Clan Gunn, in the north of Scotland. Inspired by the glimpses of lives found in archives, this is a biography in poetry. Each poem can be read individually, but when put together they tell the story of Jofrid’s life – descriptions of the incredible natural places she lived in, the power of the sea, her family life, encounters with the huldufólk or 'hidden people' of legend, and her small part in the clan battles and blood feuds of the time.

Please note that this event is mainly aimed at adults, though all ages are welcome!
