 hatCome to our In Conversation Event at the Grove Theatre Eastbourne with Bobby Palmer.
Bobby is author of the bestselling novel ‘Isaac and the Egg.’ His writing has appeared in GQ, Esquire, Men’s Health, Time Out, Cosmopolitan and more. ‘Isaac and the Egg’ is a beautiful, uncategorisable, and truly original modern-day fable about loss, hope and the magic of everyday life, the story of a broken man's transformative journey into the woods. Listen to Bobby talk about reading, writing and life!

 My Name Is Why by Lemn Sissay
At the age of seventeen, after a childhood in care homes, Norman Greenwood was given his birth certificate. He learned that his real name was Lemn Sissay. He was British and Ethiopian. And he learned that his mother had been pleading for his safe return to her since his birth.
Here, Lemn recounts his life story. It is a story of neglect, determination, misfortune and hope. Some of this is heart breaking and difficult to read, but it clearly shows how a child can be lost in the care system.
“This is so moving. Read it and weep.” Read and loved by Elinor.
This month our quote comes from Down the garden path by Beverley Nichols.
