Join us for an evening with Naoise Dolan, interviewed by Rebecca Wait, to celebrate publication of The Happy Couple!
Naoise is the author of runaway bestseller Exciting Times and this is her second novel set during one of the most endearingly iconic events in life, a wedding. Following the bride, groom, the bridesmaid, best man and a guest, we see these lives intersect and each character searches for their path to happily ever after. This is a sparkling novel about love and marriage, fidelity and betrayal, and this will be a brilliant conversation between Naoise & Rebecca about this cast of characters, Naoise’s writing and writing the path to happily ever after…
