CANCELLED - Unfortunately due to current concerns about travel between the US and Europe, Elinor has had to cancel the trip here next week.

Village Books are delighted to welcome Elinor Lipman, author of The Inn at Lake Devine, Then She Found Me and The Family Man to Dulwich.

The Washington Post described Elinor as “an enchanting, infinitely witty yet serious, exceptionally intelligent, wholly original, and Austen-like stylist”

Elinor will be discussing her new book Good Riddance: One woman’s trash becomes another woman’s treasure, with deliriously entertaining results… In a fit of decluttering, Daphne Maritch throws away the heavily annotated high street yearbook she inherited from her mother. But when it’s found in the recycling bin by a busybody neighbour turned documentary filmmaker, its mysteries – not to mention those of her own family – take on a whole new urgency, and Daphne finds herself entangled in a series of events both poignant and absurd.

Elinor Lipman is the award-winning author of eleven novels, including The View from Penthouse B and The Inn at Lake Devine; one essay collection, I Can’t Complain; and Tweet Land of Liberty. She lives in New York City.

Tickets cost £10 and include a glass of wine or soft drink.
