Elizabeth Day at Central Library

Join award-winning author and broadcaster Elizabeth Day as she discusses her gripping new novel, One of Us.

Set against a backdrop of politics and scandal, One of Us follows Martin, once the best friend of rising political star Ben Fitzmaurice, as he’s drawn back into the inner circle. As their stories intertwine, a family – and a nation – unravels under the weight of its secrets.

‘Funny, sharp, sophisticated, this is Elizabeth Day’s writing at its finest.’ Dolly Alderton

Elizabeth Day is an award-winning writer whose novels include The Party, Scissors, Paper, Stone and the Sunday Times bestseller Magpie. Her non-fiction books include How to Fail, Failosophy and Friendaholic: Confessions of a Friendship Addict. She is also a celebrated journalist, broadcaster and creator of the chart-topping How to Fail podcast. Each week, she sits down with a guest author, artist or actor to discuss what they have learned from failure.

‘One of Us is intelligent, darkly humorous and brilliantly written. It is a story for our time.’ Stanley Tucci
