​Meet authors Laura Steven and Catherine Isaac at Bury and Prestwich libraries

Two North West authors are due to give readings from their latest novels at Bury and Prestwich libraries.

This is part of the annual Read Regional campaign which celebrates selected new books from the North of England.

Laura Steven is making her only appearance in the North West at Bury Library on Monday 11 March (6pm), reading from “The Exact Opposite of Okay”. This is a humorous young adult novel for anyone who's ever called themselves a feminist - and anyone who hasn't. It’s about an aspiring comedian whose world implodes when dirty pictures involving her, a politician’s son and a garden bench emerge online.

Then on Thursday 28 March (7pm), Catherine Isaac will be talking about her book “You Me Everything”. This concerns a single mother called Jess, who sets off with her ten-year-old son William to spend a summer in the Dordogne, where her ex-boyfriend Adam – William’s father – runs a restored chateau as a hotel. The trip is not merely a holiday: Jess is fulfilling the wishes of her mother who, in the late stages of Huntington’s disease, is determined that William needs a father in his life.
