We’re excited to welcome Amanda Huggins back to Marsden Library to read from and talk about her latest novella, The Blue of You.
Can you ever paint over the past?
Every Christmas Eve, Janey Shaw is reminded of the tragic death of her schoolfriend Alice, and the untidy ending of her relationship with Rory Brook, her first love. When Janey leaves London to return to her hometown on the North East Coast of England, the ghosts of her unresolved path lie in wait.
Amanda Huggins is the author of the novellas Crossing the Lines and All Our Squandered Beauty as well as several collections of short fiction and poetry. Her work has been broadcast on BBC radio and appeared in numerous newspapers and magazines. She has won several awards, including three Saboteur Awards, the Colm Toibin Short Story Award, the Kyoto City Mayoral Prize, and the BGTW New Travel Writer of the Year.
Tickets are free, please do book ahead if you can (it helps with the planning). Donations welcome 🙂
