You are invited to Celebrate Rachel’s new novel
& raise a glass to Mrs Philpott!!

Starring the one and only Sunny Amey
(who could easily fix Mrs. P.)
and possibly Mrs Philpott herself

Odd little Mrs Philpott, 70, flees a shattered city and
a husband in denial. When the earthquakes start, she
is forced to reconstruct her sanity, her marriage, and
her identity. From friends old and new, she receives
a torrent of advice—the good, the bad, and the
raunchy. A novel for Christmas and summer.

Join us on the 24th November at 6pm at
Ekor Bookshop & Cafe Ltd to celebrate
Rachel's new novel - All welcome!!
