Surgeons' Hall Museums are delighted to welcome Ambrose Parry for the launch of their new book 'The Death of Shame'. Join us in conversation with Chris Brookmyer and Marisa Haetzman as we get under the skin of their new book 'The Death of Shame'. Ambrose Parry is a pseudonym for a collaboration between Chris Brookmyre and Marisa Haetzman. The couple are married and live in Scotland. Chris Brookmyre is an international bestselling and multi-award-winning author. The Death of Shame marks his 30th published novel. Dr Marisa Haetzman is a consultant anaesthetist of twenty years’ experience, whose research for her Master’s in the History of Medicine uncovered the material upon which their novels are based. The Death of Shame- 1854, Edinburgh. Respectable faces hide private sins. Apprentice Sarah Fisher is helping to fund Dr Will Raven’s emerging medical practice in exchange for being secretly trained as a medic. Sarah needs no instruction in the inequalities that beset her gender, but even she has her eyes opened to a darker reality when a relative seeks her help in searching for her missing daughter. Annabel Banks was promised a situation in a prestigious household, but there has been no word from her since she left home and the agency that arranged her position says she never appeared. Sarah’s inquiries lead her to reforming campaigners trying to publicise the plight of the hundreds of girls ensnared in Edinburgh’s houses of assignation. Sarah learns how young women are lured, deceived, trafficked and raped, leaving them ruined in the eyes of a society obsessed with moral purity, and where virginity is prized as a lucrative commodity. The Ambrose Parry books are all inspired by the fascinating facts former consultant anaesthetist Haetzman uncovered through her master’s degree in the history of medicine in 2014. There will be the opportunity to purchase a copy of the book and have it signed by the authors. Doors open 18:00 Duration: 60mins (approx.)

苏河家园

Edinburgh Castle is the soul of the city. Stepping up the castle, as if crossing the medieval period, the ancient walls, the black ancient guns, all tell the smoke of the war. Standing on the height of the castle, overlooking the city of Edinburgh, the red tiles and green trees, the blue sea and blue sky, have a panoramic view.

Edinburgh Old Town

&quot;The bagpipes came from afar, I only care about your news. The castle is a secret for love, and I am a memory for you.&quot; This is the location of Zhou Dong&#39;s &quot;Ming Ming&quot; MV, and the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s Harry Potter creation. If you dream of a medieval ancient city in a magical world, you must visit here in your life. Every building is a natural film background, and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world. Eventually, when the sunset in Carlton Hill confiscated time, Edinburgh, becoming an ever-fading amber, will remain in my memory.
