Author Spotlight: Jen Stout

In conversation with political editor for BBC Scotland Glenn Campbell, Jen Stout will discuss her book Night Train to Odesa, which recounts her experiences as a reporter covering the human cost of Russian aggression against Ukraine. Jen left Moscow when Russia invaded Ukraine, ending up on a border post in southeast Romania as she continued to report about people on front lines and in cities across Ukraine: stories of night trains, birthday parties, military hospitals and bunkers. 

Through her reporting on individuals and relationships, Jen seeks to understand questions of identity, history, hopes and fears in this region of Europe.  

Jen will be at Bruichladdich Hall on Sunday 31st August at 11.30am. Tickets for this event are Pay What You Can with a suggested price of £7.
