An Evening with Reeta Chakrabarti | The Neston Club, Parkgate

We are delighted to be welcoming BBC journalist, Reeta Chakrabarti to the Wirral to discuss her upcoming fiction debut Finding Belle.
What will it take to uncover her past? A lost child.
When Mivvi is young, her mother Belle is a puzzle: beautiful, troubled, and, terrifyingly, increasingly disconnected from the world. A displaced mother.
Belle came to England upon her marriage, a whirlwind romance from the beaches of Mombasa to the English suburbs. But far from friends and family, her life and love affair began to crumble. A family secret.
As Mivvi grows up in the shadow of her mother's illnesses and her father's absences, she must reconnect the pieces that her mother scattered. Can she uncover the secrets clouding their past – and in doing so rewrite her own story? Travelling from the beaches of Mombasa to the suburbs of England and then on to the teeming streets of Kolkata, a powerful story of mothers and daughters, betrayal and madness and a child who must forge her own identity.
Reeta Chakrabarti is a British journalist, newsreader and correspondent for BBC News. She is known for presenting BBC News at One, BBC News at Six, BBC News at Ten and BBC Weekend News, and presenting regularly on the BBC News Channel and occasionally BBC World News.
Chakrabarti has also reported extensively in the UK and abroad for BBC News.
