Ann Patchett in conversation with Daisy Buchanan

Join us for an online evening featuring novelist (and bookshop owner!) Ann Patchett in conversation with author Daisy Buchanan. This event is to coincide with the publication of These Precious Days, an irresistible collection of essays from Patchett, the internationally bestselling, Women’s Prize-winning author of The Dutch House and Commonwealth.

Patchett will discuss her new essay collection, which ranges from the personal – her portrait of the three men she called her fathers; how a chance encounter with Tom Hanks led to one of the most important friendships of her life; how to answer when someone asks why you don’t have children – to the sublime – the unexpected influence of Snoopy; the importance of knitting; the pleasure to be found in children’s books.

This event is free to all those that buy/pre-order These Precious Days’.

You will receive a link to attend on the day.

If you have already bought a copy of These Precious Days, please email us at orders@paradesendbook.co.uk and we will add you to the list.
