Helen Lederer to appear in Sidmouth

Helen Lederer, best known for her role as dippy Catriona in Absolutely Fabulous, as well as creating the 'Girl at the Bar' in Naked Video, will be appearing at Sun, Sea and Books Sidmouth’s Literary Festival on Friday 19th June.

Helen will be chatting about her new novel ‘Losing it’, the role of chunky KitKats, writing, losing weight… and, well, all sorts of things.

Helen’s first novel, ‘Losing It’ (published by Pan Macmillan) is the hilarious story of Millie, agony aunt for ‘The Good Woman Magazine’. In debt, divorced and desperate, she’s about to lose her house. Worse, she has no money, a best friend with a better sex life than her, a daughter in Papua New Guinea and too much weight in places she really doesn’t want.

Can a middle aged woman really have it all? A hilarious, brutally honest exploration of a woman who still feels 30 but can't deny the odd stray grey…

The Times described ‘Losing it’ as ‘Funny and sharp and often horribly true’.  And Woman and Home picked it for this months ' Great Reads', describing it as 'Funny and touching'.

Event details: Helen Lederer – Losing It. Friday June 19th, 8pm at Kennaway House, Coburg Road, Sidmouth
