Deansgate Waterstones are delighted to play host to Booker- and Women’s Prize nominated author Avni Doshi, in conversation with Brown Girl Bookshelf co-founder Mishika Narula, celebrating her brilliant second novelThe First House.

Following from her acclaimed debut novel Burnt Sugar comes a haunting, subtly unnerving psychodrama about unhappy families as a husband’s demand for a divorce triggers a devastating realisation and transformation in his wife.

Avni and Mishika discuss this gripping novel and answer audience questions, followed by a signing.

Doors at 6pm. Ticket with Book option includes a copy of The First House (RRP. £16.99) to be collected at the event.
