The Portobello Bookshop are delighted to be bringing Elizabeth Day to The Pleasance Theatre in Edinburgh for an evening event, where she'll be in conversation with arts journalist and broadcaster Nicola Meighan.

As a society, there is a tendency to elevate romantic love. But what about friendships? Aren't they just as – if not more – important? So why is it hard to find the right words to express what these uniquely complex bonds mean to us? In Friendaholic: Confessions of a Friendship Addict, Elizabeth Day embarks on a journey to answer these questions.

This event will take place in The Pleasance Theatre in Edinburgh. Tickets do not include a copy of the book.

Copies of Friendaholic will be on sale at the venue on the night and there will be a book signing after the conversation.
