An Afternoon with Elizabeth Day and Marian Keyes
Celebrated author and podcaster Elizabeth Day takes to Cadogan Hall’s stage to launch her compelling new novel, One of Us, a compulsive story of betrayal, old bonds and buried scandals set in the heart of a British establishment family.
Best known as a creative force behind acclaimed books Magpie and the number one Sunday Times bestseller Friendaholic, as well as being the host of chart-topping, award-winning podcast How To Fail, Elizabeth will share the inspiration behind her new novel and give insights into the creative process. Find out why failure is an integral part of becoming a better writer and why watching reality TV is anthropological research.
You can expect an afternoon of Elizabeth’s signature insight and wit alongside an exploration of stories, secrets and searing social observation – and there’ll be a chance to ask your own questions too.
One of Us is the riotous follow-up to Elizabeth’s 2017 bestselling book The Party but can also be read as a standalone novel.
Joined by Marian Keyes as guest host, don’t miss your chance to hear Elizabeth live in conversation for this very special one-off launch event as part of the Chelsea Arts Festival.
“I practically murdered this book in an evening I loved it so much. A terrifying, hilarious, brilliantly written original with a wit to die for.” Phoebe Waller-Bridge on The Party
