Join us for an exciting morning of books, fizz, and fascinating conversation at the Bookface Sip & Swap on Saturday 28th June, 9:30 am – 1 pm at Saints of Ingram, Glasgow.
We’re celebrating the release of The Favourite, the highly anticipated second novel by New York Times bestselling author of Amazing Grace Adams, Fran Littlewood.
When a seemingly innocent family reunion takes a sharp turn, and a father reveals his favourite child, the Fisher family is forced to confront long-buried secrets. The Favourite is an emotional rollercoaster filled with sharp wit, dark humour, and a deeply tender exploration of family dynamics. It’s the kind of book that sticks with you, keeping you hooked right until the last page.
Why You Can’t Miss This:
• Meet Fran Littlewood in person and hear about the inspiration behind her brilliant new novel.
• Swap books with fellow readers—300 titles are up for grabs!
• Sip on coffee, nibble on delicious croissants, and raise a glass of fizz as you mingle with fellow book lovers.
Praise for The Favourite:
"Now and again, I read a book so FABULOUS I get queasy with jealousy. This is one such book. Funny, dark, fascinating, and utterly convincing. On my QWJ (Queasy With Jealousy) Scale, I award it 16/10."
– Marian Keyes
