Harriett de Mesquita: The Magickal Summer of Evie Edelman
Saturday 14th June, 11am – 1pm

We’re very pleased to be hosting Harriett de Mesquita, signing copies of her new book, The Magickal Summer of Evie Edelman. The story is sunny and dark, hilarious and awkward, imaginative and direct - much like Evie herself (Jewish, Asperger’s, 21 in 1982), who’s floundering about trying to work out who she is. Biting, observant, full of characters you feel like you know, this promises to be a memorable summer read.
