SUMMARY:February Book Club Q & A with Lottie Hazell
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our February Book Club with debut novelist Lottie Hazell. We will be chatting about her novel PIGLET – a deliciously dark and piercing novel of food and secrets! \nHer life is so full\, so why is she hungry? For Piglet – an unshakable childhood nickname – getting married is her opportunity to reinvent. Together\, Kit and Piglet are the picture of domestic bliss – effortless hosts\, planning a covetable wedding… But if a life looks too good to be true\, it probably is. Thirteen days before they are due to be married\, Kit reveals an awful truth\, cracking the façade Piglet has created. It has the power to strip her of the life she has so carefully built\, so smugly shared. To do something about it would be to self-destruct. But what will it cost her to do nothing? As the hours count down to their wedding\, Piglet is torn between a growing appetite and the desire to follow the recipe\, follow the rules. Surely\, with her husband\, she could be herself again. Wouldn’t it be a waste for everything to curdle now? \nReserve your space for book club with a £5 Book Token available on our website here or from the bookshop. \nPick up your copy in the shop or online – (use the code ‘BOOKCLUB’ to get 15% off!)

SUMMARY:Saturday Signing - Come and Meet Local Author Anthony Etherington
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet local author Anthony Etherington\, who will be signing copies of his new book\, Some Other Eden. \nAnthony has written several teleplays and screen dramas. One of these\, Yellow Dragon and the Red Fox\, won Best Screenplay awards at the European Independent Film Festival and the International Film Festival of Wales in 2014. His debut novel\, Europia\, was published in 2022 with great success. \nAfter Geoff Ward is kidnapped in Cairo\, the lives of three families change forever. \nCairo\, 2010. As the vast city swelters in the summer heatwave\, anti-government protesters take to the streets. When visiting businessman Geoff Ward is kidnapped\, his client Khaled and Khaled’s sister\, Layla\, a prominent activist\, set out to find the Englishman. Meanwhile\, back in the UK\, Geoff’s wife\, Angie\, frustrated by her feelings of helplessness and the government’s apparent ineffectiveness\, contacts an old family friend\, Shimon\, to ask for help. Who has taken Geoff and why? Can his would-be rescuers work together to find him? And how will Angie and her two teenage children cope with his disappearance? \nTold from multiple perspectives\, Some Other Eden – part kidnap thriller\, part family drama – is a gripping tale of resilience and courage in an increasingly turbulent and fragmented world. \nAnthony explains: “Soon after leaving school\, I worked on two farms in Israel and\, ever since\, have remained in touch with one of the families that employed me. More than three decades later I returned regularly to the Middle East\, working as a self-employed contractor on various recruitment and people development projects in Saudi Arabia\, Egypt and Dubai. While abroad I observed that most of the people I met shared the same hopes and wants: good health for themselves and their families; a decent education and employment prospects for their children; and work that pays. Some Other Eden is\, at heart\, my attempt to give voice to the belief that we have far more in common than divides us.” \nPre-order a copy of Some Other Eden by Anthony Etherington here.
