Joan Bakewell's career spans forty-five years as a broadcaster and journalist. She wrote her autobiography a few years ago, but waited till she was in her mid-70s before penning her first novel, All the Nice Girls. The book, set in World War Two, is a wonderful evocation of period, time and place. Some of the narrative is set in Manchester, and one scene takes place at The Midland Hotel. To find out which one, and to meet this fascinating writer and cultural icon, book your ticket now for this very intimate event.
