An evening with Fran Littlewood - The Favourite
Join us to hear Fran talk about her latest book and have the opportunity to ask questions and get your book signed. A bit about The Favourite: Alex, Eva and Nancy. Three grown-up sisters; each wonderful and messy in their own individual ways. And loved equally by their parents, Vivienne and Patrick. Or so they thought . . . Until on their annual family holiday, Patrick accidentally reveals that he has a favourite daughter - causing other long-buried secrets to come to light. Set over a single week, but examining the highs and lows that define a family over the decades, The Favourite is a story about rivalries and long-held resentments, about loss and grief and blame and, above all, about love. Fran Littlewoods debut Amazing Grace Adams was an instant New York Times bestseller, Read With Jenna pick and was published in 17 territories. Amazing Grace Adams was published to huge critical acclaim including: Littlewood writes with ferocity and compassion . . . Read it and weep, then cheer (The Times), A glorious tragicomedy (Daily Express) and Rarely have I felt more seen than by this book (Good Housekeeping). Now and again I read a book which is so FABULOUS I get queasy with jealousy. This is one such book. God, I wish I had written it. 3 sisters in their 40s. Funny, dark, fascinating and utterly UTTERLY convincing. On my QWJ (Queasy With Jealousy) Scale, I award it 16/10. Marian Keyes Fran writes like a wilder, more breathless Claire Lombardo . . . A huge talent. Set over the course of a family reunion that goes very wrong, THE FAVOURITE is a layered, textured story about the reverberations of the past and secrets in a family, and a psychologically astute look at love and relationships. Its wonderful and very funny. Youre in for such a treat. I LOVED it. Georgina Moore, author of The Garnett Girls
