Virtual Gliterary Lunch with Lisa Jewell

After the success of our first ever ‘Virtual Gliterary Lunch’ with Sophie Hannah, we are delighted to be bringing you best selling Lisa Jewell who will tell us about the inspiration behind her latest domestic noir, The Family Upsttairs.  From the comfort of your own home, you can her ask questions and you can interact with fellow Gliterary Lunchers through the chat function.

Break up the routine of lockdown lunches and treat yourself for a Gliterary hour of good books and good company, although once again, we will have to leave the food and drink to you.

To join us simply email [email protected] and we will send you the crowdcast link.

Although the event is free for all, we will be encouraging further donations to the mental health charity MIND through our Just Giving page.

Praise for Lisa Jewell

‘I had an unrelentingly pleasurable and a thrilling for-God’s-sake-tell-me-what-happened sensation in my stomach for the entire read … Stupendous!’ Ruth Jones

The Book

In a large house in London’s fashionable Chelsea, a baby is awake in her cot. Well-fed and cared for, she is happily waiting for someone to pick her up. In the kitchen lie three decomposing corpses. Close to them is a hastily scrawled note. They’ve been dead for several days.

Who has been looking after the baby? And where did they go? Two entangled families. A house with the darkest of secrets. A compulsive new thriller from Lisa Jewell.
