This will be a fantastic opportunity to hear Marilynne, who is one of our special guests at the Reading for Wellbeing Conference on 17th May, speak informally about her life and work in a relaxed atmosphere, ask her any questions you may have and enjoy a delicious dinner.
The evening costs only £25, which includes a two course meal and wine.
There are only a very limited number of places available. Please contact Claire Speer if you would like to book a place: clairespeer@thereader.org.uk / 0151 794 2830
