📚 🌳 MEET THE AUTHOR EVENT 🌳 📚

Join us in conversation with Adelle Stripe about her wonderfully evocative and stubbornly funny memoir, Base Notes: The Scents of a Life. Told through the prism of vintage perfumes, Base Notes is an unflinching tale of working class womanhood and smalltown life.

We are very excited to welcome Adelle Stripe to Pickering Book Tree this February to chat about her ingenious memoir, Base Notes. Plotting key episodes in her life against the iconic perfumes we have all known over the years, Adelle's book is a relatable coming-of-age story, an ode to unconventional families and a marvellous description of life lived on the cusp of town and countryside. At times elegiac yet also stubbornly funny, Base Notes is a fabulous read that will reawaken your own memories and have you reaching for that perfume bottle you kept hold of for all those years.

Wear your favourite scent, bring your own olfactory reminiscences and come along to hear Adelle chat about the writing of this wonderfully evocative book.
