Join us for a special Tidelines Taster event with John Niven, who will be in conversation about his new novel, The Fathers.

“Dan Chambers and Jada Harrison live in very different worlds, both called Glasgow. In the normal run of things, they would never meet – unless Dan was perhaps called for jury duty. But meet these star-crossed men do, in the early hours of a January morning in front of the maternity ward where they have both just become fathers. What follows is an unlikely and complicated friendship as the men navigate their very different versions of fatherhood”.

The Fathers, the eleventh novel from Sunday Times bestselling writer John Niven, is a hilarious and heart-breaking account of fatherhood, marriage, fertility, grief, class and masculinity.
‘There’s nothing faster, sadder or funnier than John Niven on men’ – Caitlin Moran
