Recommended Posts

Dulwich Books are delighted to host a fiction double will featuring Evie Wyld in conversation with Laura Beatty on Thursday 3rd July, chaired by Costa Novel Award 2013 judge, Eithne Farry.


Evie Wyld is the author of the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize winning novel 'After the Fire, A Still Small Voice.' In 2010 she was listed by The Daily Telegraph as one of the twenty best British authors under the age of 40 and appeared on Granta Magazine?s Best of Young British Novelists list. Evie also runs The Review Bookshop in Peckham. Her latest novel, 'All The Birds, Singing' has just been published in paperback.


?A dark, powerfully disturbing and beautifully observed story? ? William Boyd on All the Birds, Singing.


Laura Beatty is the author of 'Pollard,' a book that Dulwich Books? bookseller Philip Maltman has been recommending for five years and is regularly in our bestseller chart. When 'Pollard' was published in 2008 it won the Authors? Club First Novel Award and was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Literature?s Ondaatje Prize. May 2014 sees the publication of her second stunning novel, 'Darkling' which has already received great reviews.


?A fierce and wonderful book ... This is just the sort of generous, provocative novel the Booker judges should cherish...Bewitching... despite its readability, Pollard is the precise opposite of escapist literature, because it gives the reader back the world? - The Observer on Pollard.


This event will be chaired by Eithne Farry, who is an author, reviewer, journalist and Costa Novel Award 2013 judge.


Doors will open at 7pm with drinks served; the event will start at 7.30pm and last approximately one hour followed by a book signing.

    • agreed Mal and it's not like this new govt is above criticism - there is plenty to worry about or think they are misguided on - but overall there is just about a sense of necessary correction, and that the specific criticism from some on here isn't really all that objective I get they are super unpopular - but anyone voting for ANY party at the last election and thinking a new govt of any hue would be able to turn on taps and make everyone happy given the state of everything was just not taking politics, governance or their own choices seriously enough
    • You could contact Council Adult Social Care Services by email as well. Usually recipient has to be in so they can be told code and shown how to access the keysafe. Are you under Southwark? In which case: 'You can contact Southwark adult social care by: Emailing [email protected] or calling 020 7525 3324 for adults with a physical or sensory disability or who are 65 or older'
    • What did the last lot do?  Cost of postage has gone up well above inflation for years.   This thread does feel like Labour bashing and in particular knocking the PM and Chancellor. You didn't see the Telegraph, Mail and Express knocking 14 years of incompetence by the last lot, in particular the unnecessary programme of austerity that led to the massive decline in public services, the silly idea to have a referendum on leaving the EU and the worst of the lot not borrowing to underpin growth when interest rates at an all time low. It feels like many of you have drunk in everything the aforementioned papers print.
    • " increasing costs, red tape and inflation" yet when Brexit did this people were told to stop remaining Governments are not run like household budgets "It's amazing that the government have been daft enough to pick a fight with farmers - Alastair Campbell commented that he did react with shock when it was announced in the budget as, he said, you don't start a fight with farmers."   And this sounds more like a protection racket than anything else
