Join Chorleywood Bookshop and bestselling author Rachel Joyce at Chenies Manor to celebrate the publication of The Homemade God.
There is a heatwave across Europe.
Goose and his three sisters gather at the family’s house by Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. Their father, a famous artist, has recently remarried a much younger woman and decamped to Italy to finish his masterpiece. Now he is dead and there is no sign of a painting.
Although the siblings have always been close, as they search for answers over that summer, the things they learn – about themselves, their father and their new stepmother – will drive them apart before they can come to any kind of understanding of what their father’s legacy truly is.
All tickets include:
- A copy of The Homemade God (RRP £20)
- A glass of Pimms / soft drink on arrival
- A seated 2 course lunch followed by tea & coffee
- Opportunity to explore the garden
