The Bookery is delighted to welcome Sunday Times bestselling author Harriet Evans to celebrate the paperback publication of her compelling new novel, The Treasures , the first book in her much anticipated Sevenstones Trilogy. Harriet will be in conversation with novelist, academic and musicianEllen Wiles for an evening exploring family, memory and the enduring pull of the places we call home.
