Joan ellis womans wit wisdom and pratfalls

‘Funny, fascinating’ local author, Joan Ellis introduces the flip, flawed women from her acclaimed books.

Meet Ella, a girl in a man’s world in 80s Adland in I AM ELLA. BUY ME. Terrified Sandra, in Island-based thriller, THE KILLING OF MUMMY’S BOY, inspired by Joan’s meeting with a murderer on a train. Susan, who goes from victim to victor as she uncovers the truth, in GUILT. And, finally hapless single Mum, Joan herself, in her 5* ‘funny, poignant’ memoir, THE THINGS YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE AWAY. Hear celebrity anecdotes as Joan switches seamlessly between tales of her real life experiences, working with the likes of Felicity Kendall and Harry Enfield, and the fictionalised version in, I Am Ella Buy Me.

Joan’s women are sometimes right and often wrong but always human. Please come and say ‘Hi’.
