Originally published by Transworld in September 2020, the paperback edition of Written in Bone was released earlier this year to rave reviews and has seen great success. The follow up to her best-selling debut, All That Remains, Written in Bone won the 2021 Gold Dagger award for nonfiction and was named among the best memoirs of the year by The Times.
Dame Professor Black is due to deliver the prestigious Royal Institution Christmas lectures this winter, which will be broadcast on BBC Four between Christmas and the new year.
