Hodder & Stoughton is delighted to offer libraries a digital + print POS pack to promote the latest novel from Joanna Nell, The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home (publishing in hardback on 7 January 2021). Nell is the author of the bestselling novel The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village and The Last Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker.

At nearly ninety, retired nature writer Hattie Bloom prefers the company of birds to people, but when a fall lands her in a nursing home she struggles to cope with the loss of independence and privacy. Fellow ‘inmate’, the gregarious, would-be comedian Walter Clements also plans on returning home as soon as he is fit and able to take charge of his mobility scooter. When Hattie and Walter officially meet at The Night Owls, a clandestine club run by Sister Bronwyn and her dog, Queenie, they seem at odds. But when Sister Bronwyn is dismissed over her unconventional approach to aged care, they must join forces – and very slowly, an unlikely, unexpected friendship begins to grow.

This digital + print POS will include:

• x20 printed bookmarks
• x1 downloadable poster
• A selection of beautifully designed digital assets

Please order your free pack by Thursday 14 January.
