Fiona Williams: House Of Broken Bricks - Ticketed

Fiona Williams is a British novelist whose work explores belonging, identity, and the quiet tensions of contemporary rural life. Her debut novel, The House of Broken Bricks, was widely praised for its lyrical prose and deeply observed portrayal of community, class, and migration in modern Britain.

Set in the West Country, the novel follows a Somali family navigating life in a small English village, capturing both the beauty and fragility of connection across cultures. Fiona’s writing is known for its emotional precision and its ability to illuminate the unspoken dynamics that shape everyday lives.

Before turning to fiction, Fiona worked in education, an experience that continues to inform her sensitive and nuanced approach to character and place.

At Clevedon LitFest, Fiona will be discussing The House of Broken Bricks, exploring themes of home, displacement, and what it means to truly belong.
