We are thrilled to invite Joanne Harris to Linghams to talk about her new book- ‘Broken Light’

A bold and timely novel from #1 bestselling author Joanne Harris that explores how women can feel invisible as they grow older – and what happens when they decide to take back control…

Have you ever felt invisible? Bernie Moon has given her life to other people: her husband, her son, her friends (who are these days, mostly online). At nineteen she was full of dreams and ambitions; now almost fifty, and going through the menopause, she’s fading, fast.

Heartbroken and hormonal, she often feels like she’s losing her mind. But when a young woman is murdered in a local park, it sparks a series of childhood memories in Bernie and with them, a talent that has lain dormant most of her adult life. She promised herself she’d never think of it again.

When she was a teenager, it almost destroyed her. But now she’s older, could it be the power she’s been missing? Could it be the chance to, finally, make them look?
