Lucy Mangan – Bookish: How Reading Shapes Our Lives

- Main Information
How books of all kinds delight, guide, comfort and strengthen us throughout our adult lives.
As a child, Lucy Mangan was reading all the time, using books to navigate the challenges and complexities of this world and many others. As an adult, she uses her new relationship with literature to seize upon the most important question: (how) do books prepare us for life?
The highly anticipated sequel to Bookworm, Bookish is about how books of all kinds delight, guide, comfort and strengthen us throughout our adult lives at each crucial phase – those both expected, and surprising. This event is a must for anyone whose relationship with books helped them navigate their other relationships, as well as life itself.
