As the mercury drops this week, it's time to lock
the doors, cancel all plans and curl up with a good book. We've
got the perfect reads for your (potentially) snowy nights!
We were thrilled with the news that the Royal Shakespeare
Company are staging the
Women's Prize-winning novel Hamnet by
Maggie O'Farrell, adapted by award-winning playwright Lolita
Chakrabarti and opening in April. Book your tickets quick
for this one, it's bound to sell out! Which makes this the
perfect time to revisit this seminal read – and luckily
enough we have five copies to give away. And if that's not enough
Maggie for you, grab your headphones and listen to her
chat to Vick Hope over on the podcast.
Stay warm.
