We're so excited to welcome Lizzie Pook to the store for a live book club event! 

Lizzie's novel Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter was a Rare Birds Book Club pick in April; we'll be sitting down with the author to hear all about the book and so much more. It's not one you want to miss! 

Tickets are £5 and can be redeemed against any purchase on the evening of the event - including our exclusive special edition cover of Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter. 

About the book

1896, Bannin Bay, Australia. When British pearl-boat captain Charles Brightwell goes missing out at sea, rumours of mutiny and murder swell within the bay's dens and back alleys. Only his headstrong daughter, Eliza, refuses to believe her father is dead, and sets out on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth.

But in a town teeming with corruption, prejudice, and blackmail, Eliza soon learns that the answers she seeks might cost more than pearls. How much is she willing to sacrifice to find them?
