Sherborne Literary Society in Conversation with Sofka Zinovieff

9 September at 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Sofka Zinovieff will be in conversation with Louise Troup (Chair of SLS), discussing her latest book “Stealing Dad” at D’Urbevilles.  A sharp and darkly funny novel about a large Bohemian family, spanning Athens, London and the Hebrides. Sofka tells the story of a group of dysfunctional siblings who find themselves banned from their own father’s funeral and take matters into their own hands. Her third novel has been warmly praised by The Spectator, The Telegraph, The Literary Review and the Observer.

Tickets £12 per person (£10 SLS members) available via https://www.sherborneliterarysociety.com/event-tickets  where you can also become a member and benefit from discounted tickets.  Spaces are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
