Deborah Moggach and her new Book: "The Carer" 9th July

Deborah Moggach is a long standing friend and Patron of the Library. She returns to us with her great style to talk about her latest book even before it is on general sale on the 11th July.

Yes you can hear about this book first with KCL on Tuesday 9th July at 7.30pm in the Library!

"From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Tulip Fever, a deliciously funny, poignant and wry novel, full of surprising twists and turns.

'Unputdownable, fun and tender with characters that jump off the page. Perfection' Marian Keyes

James is getting on a bit and needs full-time help. So Phoebe and Robert, his middle-aged offspring, employ Mandy, who seems willing to take him off their hands. But as James regales his family with tales of Mandy's virtues, their shopping trips, and the shared pleasure of their journeys to garden centres, Phoebe and Robert sense something is amiss. Is this really their father, the distant figure who never once turned up for a sports day, now happily chortling over cuckoo clocks and television soaps?

Then something happens that throws everything into new relief, and Phoebe and Robert discover that life most definitely does not stop for the elderly. It just moves onto a very different plane - changing all the stories they thought they knew so well."
