WRITER Nell Stevens will read from her award-nominated debut novel in Haworth next month.

She will be at Cobbles & Clay, Main Street, on Wednesday, August 9, at 7pm.

Briefly, A Delicious Life is told through the eyes of the ghost of a teenage girl, who is outraged when a family arrives at the monastery in Mallorca that she has occupied for over 300 years.

Diane Park, owner of Wave of Nostalgia bookshop, next door to Cobbles & Clay, says: "Briefly, A Delicious Life is one of the best novels I’ve read.

"It is incredible that it’s Nell’s first – but as Professor of Creative Writing at Warwick University and with a string of brilliant non-fiction titles behind her, including one about that most controversial of Bronte biographers Mrs Gaskill, perhaps it should be no surprise!"

Tickets for the event, which will also include a book signing and refreshments, are available priced £5 by calling at Wave of Nostalgia or going to waveofnostalgia.co.uk/event-tickets.
