** Please note, Jacqueline won't be able to do any dedications and this is an adult event**
Bestselling sensation Jacqueline Wilson will be joining us with an adult sequel to her beloved children's novel THE ILLUSTRATED MUM.
Will Dolphin retrace old patterns - or illustrate her own?
'Sorry to wake you in the middle of the night, but we have a lady here who's not very well. She says she's called Marigold, Queen of the Sky?'
Dolphin Westward spent her childhood as the supporting character in the story of her beautiful, wild, volatile mother Marigold. Now thirty-three, she's painfully aware that not much has changed. She lives in a tiny flat, works in a tattoo shop by day and collects her illustrated mum from police stations by night.
Dol yearns to climb out of the rut she is stuck in, but has no idea where to begin. Could gardener Lee and his daughter Ava be her chance for a wholesome family life? Or maybe a steamy romance with roguish actor Joel is just what she needs. And what about the offer from her sister Star, now a successful doctor, to move to Scotland and live with her young family?
As the choices threaten to overwhelm her, will Dol fall into the role of extra in someone else's story once again - or find the strength to forge a brand new path of her own?
