Rebecca Armitage: The Heir Apparent

In conversation with Marie-Louise Theile
12:30–1:30pm, Saturday 10 October, Parkside Marquee

Rebecca Armitage’s utterly unputdownable tale of royalty and romance is one of the biggest publishing sensations of the year and a Reese’s Book Club Pick. In The Heir Apparent, a young English doctor must confront her true identity as a member of the British monarchy after a tragic accident means she’s suddenly first in line for the throne. As she navigates the mind games and power plays of the Palace, she must choose between following her heart or fulfilling her duty.
