Thursday 9th April 7pm at Rye Books


The very talented Matilda Tristram, children's writer, lecturer and filmmaker is coming to Rye Books to discuss her Graphic novel 'Probably Nothing' a moving, funny and inspiring graphic memoir by a woman who discovered she had cancer whilst she was pregnant.


'A beautiful account... Apart from how funny Tristram's comic is, it's hard to pinpoint what makes it so magnetic... the honesty makes you feel, as a reader, like a companion on her journey' Zoe Williams, Guardian


This touching and hilarious graphic memoir, which is never morose or self-pitying, starts at the moment Matilda was diagnosed and ends when her course of chemotherapy finishes in October 2013. Recording the awkward conversations, the highs and lows of treatment, the mixed blessings of receiving 'Get Well' cards, and the reality of still having to queue too long for croissants, Matilda captures her experiences with characteristic style and warmth. Along the way she cherishes the small details of life, and learns not to sweat the big things. Her beautiful and boisterous son was born without complications and is reliably keeping her up most nights!


Free event,


Cake, Tea, Coffee and wine available!


Best wishes,

All at Rye Books

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By jazzer · Posted

      No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday.

      This is why you are not the chancellor! Rachel Reeves won't be going anywhere until either she fixes things or Starmer needs someone to blame!

      I fully agree. I hope you had some khinkali (Georgian dumplings), they're fantastic! They used to have only meat ones but now they also have mushroom ones and they're great. I always try to fit in a honey cake at dessert. Overall I appreciate that their food and menu seems to only improve with time.
