Bookface Sip & Swap with author Fran Littlewood
Calling all avid readers! Get ready for an unforgettable afternoon as acclaimed author Fran Littlewood takes centre stage at the Bookface Sip & Swap event, set to captivate audiences at August House!
About Bookface Sip & Swap with author Fran Littlewood
Sipping, swapping, and storytelling are on the agenda with complimentary drinks and the ultimate book lover's delight: the infamous Bookface book swap. With a curated collection of over 200 captivating titles, attendees will have the opportunity to indulge their literary cravings while mingling with fellow book lovers.
The highlight of the event promises to be a 45-minute conversation with the talented Fran Littlewood herself. As the mastermind behind the acclaimed novel and New York Times bestseller, Amazing Grace Adams, Fran will offer insights into her creative process, inspirations, and the profound themes explored within her debut masterpiece.
The bestseller lists have recently played host to some fabulously flawed and self-sabotaging midlife heroines and Amazing Grace Adams is more than just an entertaining novel; it's a profound exploration of womanhood, motherhood, marriage, and the intricacies of aging today.
With her background as a former journalist with The Times and an MA in Creative Writing from Royal Holloway, University of London, Fran Littlewood brings a unique perspective to the table.
TV rights have also been optioned by The Mare of Easttown producer. Fran said, 'There’s a brilliant screenwriter on board, who’s written a pilot and is making a start on a second episode, so it might actually happen, you never know…! It's a book written straight from the heart, as honest and raw as I could make it, and I can’t wait to come to Glasgow and chat all things Grace with Heather. I’ve also just finished the first draft of my second book, another exploration of a dysfunctional family - adult sisters, sibling rivalry, a favourite daughter... - and I think it might chime with lots of people, so more on that too!'
