An Evening with Jennie Godfrey - The Barbecue at No.9

Join us for an evening with Jennie Godfrey, the Sunday Times Number One bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things, as she talks about her writing journey and her highly anticipated second novel, The Barbecue at No.9.

In the summer of 1985, the entire country is poised for the biggest music event in history – Live Aid.

The residents of Delmont Close are preparing for a neighbourhood barbecue to celebrate this historic moment, but someone uninvited is watching them closely, getting ready to make their move. But who are they watching, and why?

The Gordons – Hanna, her high-strung mother Lydia and sweet father Peter – have opened the doors to their home. And when their neighbours flood in, so do all the secrets that have been kept in the close. There is Rita, a new resident from Australia, Steve a young man who is battling his own demons, Aunty Beverley who has come to pass judgment on her relatives.

The Barbecue at No.9 explores family, friendship and love with Jennie Godfrey’s signature wit, warmth and bite.

After the runaway success of her debut novel, we're delighted to welcome Jennie to Oswestry to celebrate the publication of The Barbecue at No.9 - you're invited too!
