SUMMARY:An Evening With Rachel Grosvenor: The Finery
DESCRIPTION:We’re very excited to announce that we’ll be hosting Rachel Grosvenor in store at House of Books & Friends on Friday 18th August to discuss her debut novel\, The Finery. As a writing coach herself\, Rachel will be talking about her process of writing in the fantasy genre with her publisher Isabelle Kenyon from Fly on the Wall Press\, before conducting a reading and book signing. \nThe event will take place 18:30-20:00. Doors will be open from 18:00 for the 18:30 start. \nEvent ticket only: £3 \nBook and ticket: £10.99 \nAbout The Finery: \nTyranny is in the air in the city of Finer Bay\, and Professor Wendowleen Cripcot would like to be left alone\, thank you very much. The memories of the last one hundred years are quite enough to be getting on with\, if only these young upstarts from the government body\, The Finery\, would stop trying to control her every move. With the eyes of a dictator upon her\, there are not many places to hide…but Wendowleen has never been one to back down from a fight (just ask her pet wolf)\, and insurrection is brewing underground. \nEditor Isabelle Kenyon says…”Though a more fantasy genre\, protagonist Wendowleen reminded me of ‘The Pilgrimage of Harold Fry’ for how lovable and grouchy she is as an unlikely leader and I loved her journey to discovering\, and then leading\, an underground rebellion… Wendowleen’s wolf – meant to be a guardian for her in her old age\, has never learnt to speak English and he’s a bit lazy at his duties… Indeed the world reminded me of Harry Potter for the comedic undertones\, mixed with real-world corrupt government policy\, such as the 80s Tory policy of the bedroom tax (the government wants Wendowleen to downsize for the ‘greater good’ and a city curfew is introduced at 8pm to ‘stop crime’)”.
