Friday 16th October at 7pm

Books have the power to begin conversations that matter. We’re proud to be hosting, in partnership with, The Waitrose & Partners Farm, an honest, compassionate and ultimately hopeful evening with author Josh Hartley, in conversation with bestselling novelist Amanda Prowse.

Together, they will share the deeply personal story behind The Boy Between – the critically acclaimed memoir that explores Josh’s experience of leaving home for university, living with depression, surviving a suicide attempt, and finding a way to build a life of hope and purpose.

The opportunity of a lifetime, or the worst mistake of your life?

Life in London is hard for Ginny as a single mother barely scraping by. Once she was a promising artist with a glittering future ahead. On a whim, she applies for an artist’s residency – all expenses paid – and is astonished to be accepted.

Soon, Ginny is on a boat to a remote Scottish island, her daughter by her side. But was she too hasty, attracted by the promise of security and a chance to make art again?

Our Blog

We have read books for over thirty years (or over sixty years if you combine our ages!). We often read and review books ahead of publication thanks to the generosity of many authors and publishers that we are connected with which helps us to know what’s coming and what we should be stocking in the Bookshop. You will also find reviews from our incredible review team too!
