Join us at Saucy Books on Thursday, October 1st at 7pm for a warm, witty and inspiring evening with Tabitha Webb in conversation with Jo Elvin to celebrate her new novel Playing the Field.
A fresh-start romcom with heart, humour and a modern edge, Playing the Field follows Eliza, a 38-year-old woman who escapes London after heartbreak and finds herself rebuilding everything — her confidence, friendships, work, love life and sense of self — in the countryside.
This is a story about reinvention, starting again without shame, changing pace, changing postcode, and discovering the power of community when life doesn’t go quite to plan.
Tabitha brings a brilliant crossover story of her own. Best known as an established British designer, her work has been worn by Kate Middleton, Miranda Kerr, Fearne Cotton and Dannii Minogue, and she has collaborated with Pippa Middleton and the British Heart Foundation. Now, with Playing the Field, she turns her sharp eye, warmth and wit to fiction.
The evening will include an author conversation, audience Q&A and signing.
