Join The Candid Book Club at Waterstones Piccadilly for an evening with Poorna Bell, to discuss her novel In Case of Emergency. Waking up in hospital after a dangerous accident, Bel realises she should reconnect with the most important people from her past in this deliciously warm and smart novel from the author of Stronger.

Poorna Bell is an award-winning journalist and author of nineteen years, former Executive Editor and Global Lifestyle Head for HuffPost. She won Stylist's Rising Star award for 2019, Red magazine's Big Book Award for 2019. Poorna has published three works of non-fiction: Chase The Rainbow, In Search of Silence and Stronger, which won a 2022 Sports Book award. In Case of Emergency is Poorna's first work of fiction.

We encourage attendees to read the book beforehand to allow for an open discussion on the night, but paperback copies of the book will also be available to purchase online via the Book & Ticket bundle – to be collected at the event.
