About this Event
Join Waterstones Cambridge for what promises to be an unmissable evening with bestselling author Bonnie Garmus, as we celebrate the publication of her much-anticipated new novel, Peck & Peck. From the author of the mega-selling Lessons in Chemistry comes a witheringly witty yet heartwarming novel about identity, ambition and the power of the written word, as a twentysomething New Yorker takes up a post at the eponymous, highly dysfunctional poetry journal.
