An Evening with Cressida McLaughlin

As part of the Farsley Literature Festival we are excited to announce that this bestselling author and queen of feel-good fiction will be joining us in the shop. Come along for a festive evening with mulled wine to chat about her glittering new Christmas read The Cornish Cream Tea Bookshop.

Ollie Spencer has started a new life in the idyllic Cornish seaside town of Port Karadow. Throwing herself into her job at the town’s bookshop, A New Chapter, is one way to make friends. The shop is glitzing up for its grand opening and Ollie hopes her inspired ideas will give the shop the edge it needs to dazzle the town.
But far from being the Christmas fairy the place needs, Ollie is fast becoming its Christmas pudding. With the bookshop’s future at stake, Ollie turns to twinkly-eyed café owner Max for help. Can he help Ollie to turn the page, and put the sparkle back into her Cornish dream?
