COVER to COVER, AUTHORS TALK 2 December 2022

An advance notice of our long-awaited Cover to Cover author’s talk event with Fiona Sussman.  Fiona’s third novel, Addressed to Greta, was awarded the NZ Booklovers Award for Best Adult Fiction in 2021.  We are thrilled to announce that her new book, The Doctors Wife, described as an “enthralling page-turner”, will be published in early October. 

Join us at Olivers café and bar on Friday 2nd December as we talk with Fiona about her work and much more besides - 5.30 for a 6.00 start.  Limited tickets ($35) will be available from mid-October – more details next month.  Ticket price includes canapes and a glass of bubbles on arrival.

This is an event not to be missed and a perfect way to kick off your Christmas celebrations. 

 

After a long period of cautious event planning and many cancellations it is so good to see the multitude of events coming up so do make sure you get along and support these shows, exhibitions, classes and events!
