| Event Name: | Penelope Lively in conversation with Lawrence Sail |
| Description: | A vibrant new novel from Penelope Lively - a wry, wise story about the surprising ways lives intersect.
In How It All Began, Charlotte Rainsford, a retired schoolteacher, is accosted by a petty thief on a London street, and the consequences ripple across the lives of acquaintances and strangers alike. Through a richly conceived and colourful cast of characters, Penelope Lively explores the powerful role of chance in people's lives and deftly illustrates how our paths can be altered irrevocably by someone we will never even meet. Brought to life in her hallmark graceful prose and full of keen insights into human nature, How It All Began is an engaging, contemporary tale that is sure to strike a chord with her legion of loyal fans as well as new readers. A writer of rare wisdom, elegance, and humour, Lively is a consummate storyteller whose gifts are on full display in this masterful work.
Lawrence Sail has published eleven collections of poems, most recently Waking Dreams and Songs of the Darkness: Poems for Christmas. |
