Val McDermid and Nicola Sturgeon are best friends who bonded over a love of good books, unfettered conversation and the occasional glass of red wine. Join them as they discuss why reading matters, and reveal the books they have loved, loathed, laughed at and, in a few cases, argued over – thus demonstrating that it’s possible to disagree about important things and still remain friends!
Val and Nicola will be joined on stage by special comedy guests to talk about the books that have left an indelible mark on them, for good and ill. Lively chat and lots of laughs guaranteed on what promises to be a brilliant – and revelatory – evening!
