Dear Graham

BOOK LAUNCH - CHARLOTTE GRIMSHAW Join with us & Penguin Random House to launch Charlotte Grimshaw’s latest brilliant novel Starlight Peninsula. When Eloise’s life is suddenly turned upside down she seeks answers - & encounters an odd-eyed policewoman, a charismatic obstetrician, a German psychotherapist, & a flamboyant internet pirate wanted by the US government! One of NZ’s most cleverly satirical writers, Charlotte has won numerous awards. Come & celebrate with us! Thursday 2 July 6pm in the bookshop

BOOK LAUNCH – BIANCA ZANDER  Published first in the USA, Bianca Zander’s marvellous second novel The Predictions delightfully captures life at Gaialands, an ‘alternative lifestyle’ commune in the Coromandel in the late 70s. Poppy & Lukas, who have grown up there, must face the less idealistic realities of life in the heady music scene of 80s London. Join us, with Bianca & Hachette NZ, to celebrate the New Zealand publication of this lively, tender story of mistakes & finding your place in the world. Wednesday 15 July 6pm in the bookshop
