SUMMARY:An Evening with Jennie Godfrey
DESCRIPTION:Jennie Godfrey’s debut book The List of Suspicious Things found itself on the Truman Books Top 10 Bestseller List\, month after month\, so we know there are going to plenty of excited readers (including us)\, delighted to hear about her return! \n\n\n\nBestselling author Jennie will join us at The Old Woollen here in Farsley in March to celebrate the launch of The Barbecue at No.9\, another startling novel of community and family in the 1980s. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the book \n\n\n\nIt’s the summer of 1985 and the residents of Delmont Close are preparing a neighbourhood barbecue to watch the biggest music event in history: Live Aid. A day like no other that will end having reached millions and changing the lives of all who attend.House-proud Lydia Gordon\, whose idols are Princess Di and Delia Smith\, is determined to put on a show that will impress everyone – with her posh garden and state-of-the-art television\, and her sweet husband and two children\, Hanna and David.But as the guests flood into number nine\, so do all of the secrets that have been kept in the close.Rita\, a new neighbour from Australia\, is hoping for a fresh start but harbours a shocking event in her past; Steve\, a young Falklands veteran\, battles his own demons; and Mr Wilson is surely too good-looking to ever be trusted.But as the hours count down to the last performance of the night\, it’s Lydia who faces the heart-breaking truth that her immaculate home and flawless family might not be so perfect after all. \n\n\n\n“From the very first page I was in awe. I LOVED it.”– Marian Keyes“A beautiful story about secrets\, lies and community.” – Graham Norton“A delicious and irresistible story. An utter treat.” – Rachel Joyce“Gripping\, suspenseful\, moving\, perfectly constructed.” – Sophie Hannah \n\n\n\nAbout the author \n\n\n\nJennie Godfrey was raised in West Yorkshire in a mill-working family and her debut novel\, The List of Suspicious Things\, was inspired by her childhood there in the 1970s. In 2020\, Jennie gave up her corporate career to build a life around books. She is now a writer and part-time bookseller who lives\, and writes\, in the Somerset countryside.

SUMMARY:Truman’s Book Club Social – Wed 11th March
DESCRIPTION:At Truman’s Book Club Social in March\, hosted at Cargo Wines here in Farsley\, we’ll be discussing the book Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata. \n\n\n\nA ticket to attend Truman’s Book Club Social is £18. This includes the book (which will be available for you to collect in the shop once you’ve made a booking online) and your first drink on the evening (beer\, wine or soft drink). If you already have the book\, you can select a ticket that will include a £10 Truman’s Gift Voucher instead of a book. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book \n\n\n\n‘Exhilaratingly weird and funny… Unsettling and totally unpredictable – my copy is now heavily underlined’ – Sally Rooney \n\n\n\nMeet Keiko. She’s 36 years old\, has never had a boyfriend\, and she’s been working in the same supermarket for eighteen years. \n\n\n\nKeiko’s family wishes she’d get a proper job. Her friends wonder why she won’t get married. But Keiko knows what makes her happy\, and she’s not going to let anyone come between her and her convenience store… \n\n\n\nA cult hit around the world\, Convenience Store Woman is both a feminist rallying cry and a must-read oddball comedy. \n\n\n\n ‘A gem of a book. Quirky\, deadpan\, poignant and quietly profound’ – Ruth Ozeki \n\n\n\nWhen & Where? \n\n\n\nThis Truman’s Book Club Social will take place on Wednesday 11th March\, 6.30pm (for a 7pm start)\, at Cargo Wines\, Sunny Bank Mills. One of the benefits of us hosting our Book Club in a Wine Bar means that when the book chat is done\, if you wish\, you’re free to stay on to continue to enjoy the company and the conversation\, and maybe another drink or two. \n\n\n\nWe’d like a relaxed evening of booky chat\, so if the thought of sitting round in a big circle feels a little intimidating\, this is the Book Club for you. Our aim is to have a more informal feel\, with smaller groups sat chatting around tables. We can help you find a seat and make sure everyone feels comfortable. \n\n\n\nWe’re thinking an hour of chat about the month’s book (and the topics and experiences it leads to). In the future\, we’d love to be able to welcome guest authors to join us to discuss their books. \n\n\n\nHope to see you there!
