SUMMARY:Maybe\, Perhaps\, Possibly
DESCRIPTION:Joanna Glen\, Maybe\, Perhaps\, Possibly\nJoanna Glen\, author of the Costa Prize shortlisted debut\, The Other Half of Augusta Hope\, explores her latest novel.\n\nTwo introverts with turbulent pasts and wary hearts take individual comfort in swimming in the ocean\, birdwatching\, books and the sounds of the sea. Sol and Addie are both drawn to nature far more than to people – until they catch sight of one another in the wild. Maybe\, Perhaps\, Possibly is a beautifully observed and life-affirming story about finding yourself\, and then allowing someone else to find you.\n\nThis event will include an audience Q&A. After the event there will be an opportunity to get your book signed by the author.\n\nPart of our special day of events at Hylands Estate\, Chelmsford\, under the banner of Restless Brilliance.

Dreaming daily of escape\, she consoles herself by swimming in the ocean that surrounds them. On the neighbouring island\, joined to Rokesby by a bridge at low tide\, Sol has sought refuge at a wind-swept prayer house\, grieving both his mother’s death and his father’s devastating betrayal. Alone and anxious\, he takes comfort in birdwatching\, books and the sounds of the sea.\n\nIntroverts with turbulent pasts and wary hearts\, Sol and Addie are both drawn to nature far more than to people – until they catch sight of one another in the wild. Can they break free from past lessons in love to risk a better future together?\n\nA beautifully observed and life-affirming novel about finding yourself\, and then allowing someone else to find you.\n\n \n‘I loved it… a love story for realists… This is a book that knows that life's biggest questions are answered in its smallest moments and - if we are lucky - life doesn't always take our first answer’ - Gráinne Murphy\n \nAbout the Author\nJoanna Glen read Spanish at the University of London\, with a stint at the Faculty of Arts at Córdoba University in the south of Spain. She went on to teach Spanish and English to all ages\, and\, latterly\, was a School Principal in London.
