Elizabeth Buchan, the best-selling author of The Museum of Broken Promises and Two Women in Rome, talks to Isabelle Grey about her latest novel, Bonjour, Sophie.

Bonjour, Sophie is a poignant coming-of-age story that follows Sophie’s path from her grim beginnings in an English rural rectory to post-war Paris, where she excavates an uneasy past in search of her father. It is about the uncovering of secrets, lies and trauma, of abandonment, discovery, thwarted love and profound friendship, and is full of Buchan’s trademark wisdom and compassion.

Isabelle Grey, a local TV screenwriter and crime novelist, will be asking Elizabeth about her own childhood journeys, her 17 novels, her love of reading, and their shared fascination with the secrets of World War Two.

Village Books will be selling copies at the event, which Elizabeth will be happy to sign.
