It’s the kind of book that sticks with you, keeping you hooked right until the last page.

• Meet Fran Littlewood in person and hear about the inspiration behind her brilliant new novel.
• Swap books with fellow readers—300 titles are up for grabs!
• Sip on coffee, nibble on delicious croissants, and raise a glass of fizz as you mingle with fellow book lovers.
Praise for The Favourite:
"Now and again, I read a book so FABULOUS I get queasy with jealousy. This is one such book. Funny, dark, fascinating, and utterly convincing. On my QWJ (Queasy With Jealousy) Scale, I award it 16/10."
– Marian Keyes
