Upcoming author events at The Women's Bookshop, Auckland.



Travels with my Economist: Encounters with India
Join us for a riotous celebration of this hilarious book.

Meet award-winning writer Lisa Scott who traded the quiet back streets of Dunedin for the heat & chaos of Bangalore. This genuinely funny book brilliantly captures the hell and the highlights of living in India.
Thursday 27 September 6pm at the bookshop

 NB: We will open the carton of J K Rowling’s first novel for adults The Casual Vacancy,  embargoed until 7pm that night. It wouldn’t surprise us if Lisa did a J K  Rowling impersonation & signed her books for you!

     Join us to celebrate the publication of this penetrating look at powerful people in a small country.

An Evening with Pamela Stephenson
In conversation with Finlay Macdonald
Pamela Stephenson tells her own story - from Takapuna girl, to Not the Nine O'Clock News, to Mrs. Billy Connolly, to therapist, to Strictly Come Dancing - in her own inimitable style.
