Mostly Books put out the blackboard a few weeks ago to say they were welcoming one of the UKs most celebrated and loved authors, Kate Atkinson. The audience was at Trinity Church, Abingdon.

Tickets sold out quickly.

Kate Atkinson was there to read from her new Jackson Brodie novel, Death at the Sign of the Rook, and answer questions from Aileen from the Mostly Books team, and wide ranging questions from members of the audience.

Kate’s hand injury meant she could only sign books using a stamp, but she compensated with friendly chats that made each fan’s visit memorable.
