Portsmouth Litfest

Tonight the Book Swap visits Portsmouth! Our guests are Mick Jackson, a Book Swap alumnus (in Alfreston, so I wasn't there) whose new novel The Widow's Tale I'm enjoying hugely - his previous, The Underground Man, was Booker-shortlisted, so may be even better; and Charlotte Moore, who's written a wonderful biography of her house Hancox and the people who lived in it (including some brilliantly inspiring era-defying independent-minded women), and who I met at a lunch party a few years ago and thus I can report is very nice and has impeccable table manners. That should help with the cake. Join us! We'll be at the Aspex Gallery at 7.30pm. Don't forget to bring a book to swap.
