Bibliotherapists Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin present a special one-off group session.

Discover the books they would prescribe for themselves, ask them your questions, share your own favourite reads and get recommendations from others around you. Berthoud and Elderkin will look at common problems such as Moving House, Broken Heart, Bereavement and any other topics you want help with, and will prescribe their cures for these ailments.

A playful and poignant celebration of the power of novels to help heal the manifold emotional pitfalls of the human condition.

Ella Berthoud and Susan Elderkin have been bibliotherapists for The School of Life since it opened in 2008.

This event celebrates their new book, The Novel Cure: an A-Z of Literary Remedies (Canongate 2013).
