We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Jo Thomas, bestselling author, to Chapter One on November 23rd. A Pembrokeshire local, Jo has global readership and she combines dazzling writing with a love of family cooking and fun.

Jo’s written three previous novels set at Christmas, but this is her first one which features a heroine, Clara, who is sent to a chocolate-making class, which turns out to be a chocolate-making bootcamp. When Clara’s new boyfriend asks her to move to to Switzerland, she can’t help but say yes…after all, what could be more perfect than Christmas in the Alps?

Reviews have said:

‘A lovely heartwarming read . . . ideal to get you in the mood for Christmas’
‘A lovely festive read’
‘A wonderful, warm, nostalgic story’
‘I absolutely loved this book . . . read it all in one day!’

We’ll be chatting to Jo about her books, her background and how she gets inspired by living in Pembrokeshire. A great champion of local produce and businesses in her instagram live cooking shows, we’ll also ask her about her favourite local suppliers and recipes. Prepare to be entertained, uplifted and illuminated! ( and there may be chocolate)

Event starts at 2pm, Saturday 23rd November at Chapter One, Narberth Museum. £5 Tickets can be booked here: A Recipe For Christmas or on 01 834 860500.
