One Day I Shall Astonish the World, with Nina Stibbe in Conversation with Patrick Gale (at THE ACORN)

Event Description

Prize-winning author, Nina Stibbe makes a welcome return to the LitFest stage to discuss her latest novel – about the ebb and flow of female friendship over half a lifetime. One Day I Shall Astonish the World tells the story of best friends Susan (never Sue) and Norma, and of the wonderful and sometimes surprising path their friendship takes: from its conspiratorial beginnings, along its irritating wrong turns, to its final gratifying destination. As in all of Nina’s books, the everyday is made funny and often moving at the same time.
