The Gavin & Stacey star, who played Nessa in the smash comedy series also starring James Corden, will be giving a talk organised by Booka in Oswestry.

Carrie Morris, from Booka, said: "Join us for an evening with actress and screenwriter Ruth Jones as talks about her debut novel, Never Greener, a heart-rending, provocative and astutely written love story about getting what you want and losing everything you need.

"The past has a habit of tracking us down. And tripping us up. When Kate was 22, she had an intense and passionate affair with a married man, Callum, which ended in heartbreak.

"Kate thought she’d never get over it. Seventeen years later, life has moved on – Kate, now a successful actress, is living in London, married to Matt and mother to little Tallulah.

"Meanwhile Callum and his wife Belinda are happy together, living in Edinburgh and watching their kids grow up. The past, it would seem, is well and truly behind them all.

"But then Kate meets Callum again. And they are faced with a choice: to walk away from each other . . . or to risk finding out what might have been. Second chances are a rare gift in life. But that doesn’t mean they should always be taken.

"Ruth Jones is best known for her outstanding and award-winning television writing and Sky 1’s Stella.

"In this, her unmissable debut novel, she shows us the dangers of trying to recapture that which was once lost and failing to realise the beauty of what we already have.

"We’re thrilled to be hosting this event with Ruth – don’t miss this chance to meet her."

The event will be held on April 12 at 7.30pm at The Wynnstay Hotel in Church Street.

Tickets are £15 and can be bought from Booka.
