Join us on Wednesday 4th November at 7pm, when we welcome author of the acclaimed, globally bestselling novel, Lessons in Chemistry , Bonnie Garmus, to celebrate the publication of her latest book, Peck & Peck!
Bonnie's work has been praised as 'sparky, rip-roaring and funny' in the Sunday Times and 'funny, thought-provoking and stylish' in the Guardian. Lessons in Chemistry has been one of bestselling novels in West Kirby, and Peck & Peck certainly follows suit- with exquisitely crafted charaters and an incredibly compulsive plot.
Bonnie will be reading from, and discussing the book, before taking questions from the audience and signing copies of Peck & Peck. This event is being held at Hope Church in Hoylake. Tickets are £10 standard admission or £27 including a copy of the book.
If you can't attend and would like to reserve a signed/ dedicated copy of the book, please get in touch and we'll be more than happy to help.
We look forward to seeing you there!
About Peck & Peck:
Saving humanity. It takes the right type.
It's 1982, New York City. Crime is on the rise, muggings are in the streets, and Batter Gray, recent college graduate with a skill that no one wants-an 'ear' for poetry - is worried about his future. While all his friends have real jobs, he's folding T-shirts at the Gap. As for love? No. Not unless you count Sallie Mae, the student loan tyrant. He hears from Sallie all the time.
But when Batter gets a dream job at Peck & Peck, the most prestigious poetry quarterly in the world, his life moves into the literary fast lane. Soon Batter is knee-deep in the secret war between the two Editors in Chief, the famous Peck brothers - twins and enemies - as well as being privy to the private affairs of their thirty-nine editors, whose professed mission is the same: Find originality. Reward creativity. Burn the rest. And by 'burn', they mean incinerate.
Because at Peck & Peck, 'good' isn't good enough, 'interesting' doesn't cut it, plagiarists aren't tolerated, and parolees run the mailroom. Still want to submit your poem? Go with God.
Welcome to another dazzling and unforgettable novel from Bonnie Garmus. Hugely original, brilliantly funny and peopled with unforgettable characters, Peck & Peck is both a passionate ode to the written word and a heartwarming exploration of all that makes us human.
