Griffin Books in Penarth has announced their reopening in early July, as well as an extra special, meet the author event (virtual style) with none other than Ruth Jones.

Ruth Jones will be stepping into Griffin Books' virtual bookshop on Friday 4 September to talk about her latest novel, Us Three.

Us Three is a funny, moving and uplifting novel about life's complications, the power of friendship and how it defines us all, from Ruth Jones, co-writer of Gavin & Stacey and author of the smash-hit, number one bestselling debut, Never Greener.

Tickets are strictly limited. Book here to avoid disappointment.

Ruth Jones is best known for BBC 1's Gavin and Stacey, in which she played the incorrigible Nessa, and Sky 1's Stella, in which she played the titular role.

Tickets are £15.00 (includes access to the online event and a SIGNED hardback copy of Us Three).
