An Evening With Jodi Picoult

60 million copies sold. 30 incredible novels. 1 Jodi Picoult.

Join us in collaboration with Hungerford Bookshop for an evening with one of the world’s favourite storytellers. Jodi Picoult comes over from the U.S. to discuss her brand new novel, Hollow Bones.

This is an epic new story of the lies we tell ourselves as we write the narratives of our lives, the plans we design to protect ourselves at the worst moments, and the ties that bind mothers and daughters.

About the book:

On September 11th, 2001, when Molly Fitzgerald was only two months old, her mother went to an appointment at the World Trade Center and never came home.

Her father and the stepmother who raised her couldn’t have loved her more, but she still grew up with a healthy dread of disasters.

Now an adult, she runs the Rhode Island Department for Emergency

Preparedness, mapping out ways to save lives during storms, epidemics, and airplane crashes. She and her husband, Jesse—a police polygraph expert with his own history of crisis—have found a love that is a solace in a dangerous world. But then the unexpected upends their new marriage, leading them both to question everything they thought they knew.

This novel is absolutely vintage Jodi - pulling on every heart string and leaving you unable to tear yourself from the pages. It also has a wonderful crossover with My Sister's Keeper - featuring Jesse as a main character and giving readers a glimpse of what happened next for him and the family.
