Afternoon tea with Meg Bignell

Join us for afternoon tea with Meg Bignell, discussing her hilarious new novel The Good Losers.

Callie March is fascinated by human absurdity, including the habits of the upper class. So when she pushes her screen-addicted teenage son to join a local rowing club, she is thrilled to find a whole new world of odd behaviours, irrational obsession and riverside rooting.

Thrust into a support crew and silly uniform, Callie has inadvertently volunteered for a season of pre-dawn parenting, endless fundraising, and pandering to insufferable dickheads. But she also finds friendship, intrigue and lust, while her son just might find love.

Callie is torn between enchantment and repulsion, until a trail of corruption and scandal leads to deep suspicion. There is something fishy in the rowing shed, and Callie is determined to find out what lurks behind the closed doors of the sports club. In doing so she will rock the boat - or better still, capsize it altogether.
