Enjoy a nice lunch with one of Granta’s Best of Young Novelists under 40! First Story’s Literary Lunches are a great way to enjoy a lovely meal and a glass of wine while listening to critically acclaimed writers as they talk about their life and work.

The author of 8 novels, Esther Freud was born in London in 1963. As a young child she travelled through Morocco with her mother and sister, returning to England aged six. In 1979 she moved to London to study Drama, going on to work as an actress, both in theatre and television. Her first novel Hideous Kinky was published in 1992, and was shortlisted for the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and made into a film starring Kate Winslet. In 1993, after the publication of her second novel, Peerless Flats, she was named by Granta as one of the Best of Young Novelists under 40. Esther Freud's new novel, Mr Mac and Me, will be published in September by Bloomsbury.

All proceeds from the event are in support of the First Story programme. First Story is a registered charity which supports and inspires creativity, literacy and confidence in challenging UK secondary schools and their communities.
