House of Books & Friends is thrilled to welcome Kevin Maguire in conversation with Sacha Lord to discuss his book 'The New Fatherhood'.
This event will take place on Tuesday, June 2nd from 6-7pm. 

🎟️ LINK IN THE BIO FOR TICKETS 🎟️

About the book 

Fatherhood will change you. That much is certain. But whilst it can never be under your control, it can be under your influence.

The old rules of fatherhood are no longer fit for purpose. It used to be simple: you had to protect, provide for, and preside over your family. But the world has changed, seeing today’s dads question the role they play in society, at work, and in their homes, as they feel the once-solid foundation of fatherhood crumble beneath their feet.
