One of Us (4th Estate), the latest book by celebrated author and podcaster Elizabeth Day, is a compulsive story of betrayal, old bonds and buried scandals, set in the heart of a British establishment family. Martin, once best friend to rising political star Ben Fitzmaurice, receives a surprise invitation back into this inner circle of power and privilege. With everyone now watching, and the family unravelling under the weight of its secrets, the stage is set for a reckoning.

Join us for an evening of Elizabeth’s signature insight and wit as she shares the inspiration behind her new novel, exploring stories, secrets and searing social observation, and discusses her creative process. Elizabeth will be in conversation with author and podcaster Róisín Ingle.

She is also the creator and host of the chart-topping podcast How To Fail With Elizabeth Day and founder of Daylight Productions, whose recent shows include How To Date and How To Write A Book, which has been nominated for Best Podcast at the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards.
