** Elizabeth Day & Emma Gannon
------------------------------------------------------------


** Join 5x15 for a very special evening with bestselling author and chart-topping podcaster Elizabeth Day, in conversation with Emma Gannon.

Bestselling author, journalist, broadcaster and chart-topping podcaster Elizabeth Day joins 5x15 to discuss her thrilling new novel, Magpie, with Emma Gannon, author and host of the award-winning creative careers podcast Ctrl Alt Delete.

In Magpie, an exhilarating and suspenseful tale of jealousy, motherhood and power, we’re introduced to Marisa and her new lodger, Kate. But something about Kate isn’t right. Is it the way she looks at Marisa’s boyfriend? Sits too close on the sofa? Constantly asks about the baby they are trying for? Or is it all just in Marisa’s head?

Magpie has been heralded as ‘sinister and comforting, outrageous but grounded’ by Lisa Taddeo, and ‘magnificent’ by Kate Mosse. It’s a psychologically acute exploration of infertility and mental illness, with a stunning twist that will take your breath away.

Join Elizabeth as she discusses Magpie, the experiences that inspired it, her life and her work in conversation with Emma Gannon.

Elizabeth Day is the author of four novels and Sunday Times bestselling memoir, How to Fail. Her acclaimed debut Scissors, Paper, Stone won a Betty Trask Award and Home Fires was an Observer book of the year. Her third, Paradise City, was named one of the best novels of 2015 in the Evening Standard, and The Party was a Richard & Judy book club pick. She is an award-winning journalist and presents BBC Radio 4's Open Book and the Sky Arts Book Club. She is also the creator and host of the iTunes chart-topping podcast, How To Fail.

Emma Gannon is a Sunday Times bestselling author, speaker, novelist and host of the award-winning creative careers podcast in the UK, Ctrl Alt Delete, which has reached almost 10 million downloads. She has blogged since 2009; podcasted since 2016 and is the author of five books, including her award-winning debut novel OLIVE. Her new book Disconnected will be published in January 2022 in the UK and US.
