Treat yourself to an hour of good books and good company – but the good food is up to you! After the successes of our three recent Virtual Gliterary Lunch hours with Sophie Hannah, Ruby Wax and Lisa Jewell, we are delighted to be bringing you best-selling Fern Britton who will tell us about the inspiration behind her latest novel, Daughters of Cornwall. From the comfort of your own home, you can ask her questions and interact with fellow Gliterary Lunchers through the chat function.
