An Evening With Meg Mason - BRIGHTON

Another witty and raw novel from the fanstastic author of Sorrow & Bliss.
Meg Mason's Sophie, Standing There is a funny, candid, often bittersweet story, exploring themes of loneliness and connection.

Sophie Pattison is a lovely person – warm, kind, relentlessly positive. She's cherished by her brother Laurie, adored by her best friend Emma and valued by her colleagues. Sometimes, it’s true, one day in her life can feel like the entire month of January. It’s also true she can go an entire day without speaking. But she's fine really. She spends her time alone reading, finding comfort in the pages of the books she devours.

That is until the day she stumbles upon an author she hasn’t read in years. Her books, interviews and podcasts soon become a lifeline; every word is a solace, company she hasn't felt in so long. It's almost like love.

A lot like love. And Sophie would LOVE to meet the author, although she never will obviously. In a way, thank goodness, because that would change everything. Sophie's entire life. Wouldn’t it?

Book & ticket option includes a HB copy of Sophie, Standing There (rrp £20) available for collection on the night.
