# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Author Event with Tess Woods - The Cairo Bridal Shop
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: The highly anticipated new novel by the bestselling author of The Venice Hotel.

A vivid novel about family, identity and the courage it takes to shape your own life even when the odds are stacked against you.

The Cairo Bridal Shop follows three sisters bound by their late mother’s bridal shop and by the lives they are fighting to claim. Sarah longs for a child while trapped in a crumbling marriage, Aya risks everything to save the man she loves from political imprisonment, and Lola grapples with her identity in a society where being herself could cost her everything. As pressure mounts from family, culture and the state, the sisters must navigate impossible choices — and hold on to each other through it all.

Deeply personal, The Cairo Bridal Shop draws on Tess’s early childhood in Egypt and her family’s migration to Australia in 1979. It is also inspired by her beloved grandmother, a bridal dressmaker who rebuilt her life in Australia. The novel stands as a love letter to her grandmother and to Egypt, honouring both its beauty and its contradictions.
