Join us for an evening of conversation with Laura Blake, to celebrate her debut novel, Go Home Birdie Brown.
About this Event

Go Home Birdie Brown
Birdie Brown’s life is held together by family — her sharp-witted daughter Carmen, her son Scott who no one mentions, and five grandkids who keep her on her toes. Retirement is bingo nights, babysitting, and TV with her granddaughter Saffie — until a letter from the Home Office arrives.It says she’s here illegally. That she must return to Jamaica — a country she hasn’t seen since childhood.As the system threatens to erase her, Birdie must confront buried truths and fractured ties. Can she hold on to the life she built — and the family that built her?
A powerful and emotional novel inspired by the Windrush Scandal, for fans of All My Mothers by Joanna Glen and Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez.
This event will consist of an author interview, followed by an audience Q&A and a signing.
