It was truly a joy to once again be able to celebrate Love Your Bookshop Day in store – after two difficult years of lockdowns preventing it, how wonderful it was to be able to welcome all our lovely community inside to help us celebrate the day.

We are delighted to welcome acclaimed writer, Inga Simpson, to discuss her latest novel, Willowman. Inga is the author of several novels including Mr Wigg, Nest, Where the Trees Were and The Last Woman on Earth, and is renowned for her nature writing. Her 2016 memoir Understory related her love of trees, and she expanded on this theme with her first children’s book, the beautifully illustrated Book of Australian Trees, in 2021.

Join us to hear bestselling author, Sally Hepworth, chat about her latest release, The Soulmate. Drawing on the good, the bad and the downright odd of human behaviour, Sally writes incisively about family, relationships and identity. Her domestic thriller novels are laced with quirky humour, sass and a darkly charming tone and include The Good Sister, The Younger Wife and The Things We Keep.
