Launching a brand-new series of events in partnership with the Baileys Women’s Prize for Fiction, on Monday 9 June, ELLE is holding its inaugural Book Club: Live.

In the courtyard garden of The Hoxton, Shoreditch, Emma Jane Unsworth, author of ELLE Book Club pick , will be reading from her novel, answering your questions and leading a discussion on your thoughts. Described by Caitlin Moran as ‘Withnail for girls’, Animals is an irreverent and laugh-out-loud ode to female friendship, in all its intense, messy and powerful beauty.

Supported by publisher Canongate, the £20 ticket price will include a signed copy of the book posted direct to your door, Baileys over ice, canapés and a year’s subscription to ELLE. So put 9 June in your diary – but hurry, there are only 40 tickets available to buy. The full event details are below.
