Join us at the Library@Riverside on Thursday 25th April at 7pm for –
World Book Night 2019; In Conversation with Joanna Cannon.
Joanna will be joining us to talk about her books and the writing
process, as well as doing a Q&A and a book signing.
Joanna Cannon is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling debut novel
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, which has sold over 250,000 copies in
the UK alone and has been published in 15 countries. The novel was
longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize, shortlisted for The Bookseller
Industry Awards 2017 and won the 2016 BAMB Reader Award.
Joanna left school at fifteen with one O-level and worked her way
through many different jobs – barmaid, kennel maid, pizza delivery
expert – before returning to school in her thirties and qualifying as a
doctor. Her work as a psychiatrist and interest in people on the fringes
of society continue to inspire her writing, and Joanna currently
volunteers for Arts for Health, an organisation bringing creative arts
to NHS staff and patients.
Joanna Cannon’s second novel Three Things About Elsie was published in
January 2018 and explores memory, friendship and old age.
Tickets are £5 for Library Members / £8 for Non-Members and can be
