What it is

We are delighted to welcome acclaimed British novelist Jonathan Coe to Deansgate to celebrate his latest stunning novel, Lessons In Harmony.

The bestselling author of The Rotters' Club and What a Carve Up! returns with a beautifully wrought investigation of friendship, music and national identity, as the great French composer Maurice Ravel takes on an archetypal English student named Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Coe joins us to discuss this masterful love letter to the power of music and answer audience questions, followed by signing.

Doors at 6pm. Ticket with Book option includes a copy of Lessons in Harmony (RRP. £20) to be collected at the event.
