Charlotte Philby - The End of Summer - A Novel

Life seldom works out to what is planned. How much of this is due to circumstance and fate? When a telephone rings in a french farmhouse, Judy knows her past has finally caught up with her. Her daughter, Francesca, insists on knowing why there are so many journalists in pursuit of her. Charlotte Philby writes a gripping nuanced literary thriller which exposes the secrets and lies so many mother/ daughter relationships have to come to terms with.

Event 14 | Oliver Smith | On This Holy Island

£12.00

SOLD OUT - Oliver Smith - On This Holy Island - Finding the Ancient Paths Across Modern Britain
Travel writer, Oliver Smith, sets out radically to reframe our idea of ‘pilgrimage’ in Britain by retracing sacred travel made across time; from ritual journeys in the depths of Ice Age to new pilgrimages of the 21st century. He embarks on an epic adventure across British landscapes – sacred routes to churches, cathedrals, standing stones – exploring prehistoric, pagan and Christian places. He reveals how football stadiums and music festivals have become contemporary sites of pilgrimage. The routes walked are ancient and the pilgrims he meets are modern. an illustrated talk Priority booking - Become a Friend - Contact TIC Bridport to book tickets - 01308 424901
