The Upper Dublin Library is hosting award-winning actress and bestselling author Celia Imrie and researcher Fidelis Morgan to the Shanis Auditorium (520 Virginia Drive, Fort Washington) on Sunday, November 24 at 2:00pm.

The free event is being held in collaboration with Reads & Company Bookshop. Registration is required at udpl.org.

From the announcement:

After their sell-out tour of the UK, Celia and Fidelis are touring the U.S, with a presentation about their research and the inspiration behind MEET ME AT RAINBOW CORNER, including photos, newsreels and readings of real letters and diaries exchanged between soldiers, sailors and nurses during the Second World War.

MEET ME AT RAINBOW CORNER follows the lives of Dot, Lilly and their friends, as they dance the nights away, fall in and out of love, and navigate the horrors of war in London in 1944.

Celia Imrie has just completed filming the role of Joyce in Steven Spielberg’s film of Richard Osman’s wildly popular novel THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB. Celia also starred in the Netflix series The Diplomat, the two Best Exotic Marigold Hotel films, Better Things, and had key roles in Doctor Who, Bridget Jones’ Diary, Star Wars Phantom Menace, Mamma Mia Here We Go Again and Absolutely Fabulous. She wrote the Sunday Times best-selling novels NOT QUITE NICE, SAIL AWAY, ORPHANS OF THE STORM and now, MEET ME AT RAINBOW CORNER.

Fidelis Morgan is an award-winning theatre actress, director and writer. In 1981, she published THE FEMALE WITS, a book still on university reading lists across the world. Her four Countess Ashby dela Zouche mysteries have been published in seven languages. She does all Celia’s historical research.

The presentation ends with a Q&A session and personalized signing of copies of the novel. (Celia can also sign copies of THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB books.)
