Praise for The Former Boy Wonder
“Warm, funny and affecting. A page-turning delight.”
Caroline Smailes, author of The Drowning of Arthur Braxton
“Such a funny, sad and tender story.”
Horatio Clare, author of Heavy Light
“I kept picturing lipstick traces on a cigarette and hearing late-night records, the kind you play to conjure up a golden age. This wonder boy’s song brings a romantic’s past to life on the page and reveals the secret fears behind it.”
Jeff Young, Costa Award-shortlisted author of Ghost Town
Copies of the novel will be on sale at the event.
Admission is free, but places are limited. Booking is recommended.
