Perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Three Lives of Cate Kay explores the cost of ambition, the longings of first (and second and third) love, and how it's never too late to go home.

'Such clever and multilayered plotting from a highly original storyteller.' Edel Coffey, Irish Times bestselling author of Breaking Point

Who is Cate Kay?

Cate Kay is the most famous author on the planet. But it's just a name. Somehow, despite her bestselling novels and the record-breaking film franchise, the writer has remained completely anonymous.

Anne Marie Callahan is the name nobody knows. Only the people she left behind. And Annie knows there's no one there anymore who could connect the dots between the girl who ran away all those years ago and the famous novelist.

If you asked, she'd say her name was Cass Ford. That's what her barista shouts each morning. And it's how she introduces herself to the woman she'll eventually call the love of her life.

Three names, three lives. But Cate Kay is finally ready to tell you who she really is.

And when the truth is out, will everyone's favourite novelist hold on to her place in our hearts or are some betrayals impossible to forgive?

THE THREE LIVES OF CATE KAY is a beautiful, moving novel about growing up in a world where you don't quite fit, and trying to find your place. It's about fame, childhood best friends, and first loves. It's about navigating a world that doesn't always accept you, finding solace in unexpected places, and the powerful journey of self-discovery and acceptance.

Book and ticket option includes a copy of The Three Lives of Cate Kay (RRP. £18.99) which will be available for collection on the night.
