BROKEN LIGHT

Imagine if Carrie White had suppressed her paranormal ability.
Imagine she had a normal life - a husband, a son, a house, a job in her local bookshop - not an especially happy life, but hey, you can't have everything.
Now imagine her powers emerged, not with puberty, but with MENOPAUSE....

That's it. That's my book. BROKEN LIGHT, coming out May '23.

Joanne Harris added a status update: I know it looks as if I haven't read anything for the past year. That isn't true, but I think we've all experienced changes in our reading patterns. One of mine has been the urge to re-revisit old friends, and to avoid writing reviews. Reading should be a pleasure, and over lockdown, reading-as-work has become something many writers have found hard to tolerate. If this is you, don't feel guilty! You're not alone...

“Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.”

Joanne Harris, Five Quarters of the Orange

“Children are knives, my mother once said. They don’t mean to, but they cut. And yet we cling to them, don’t we, we clasp them until the blood flows.”
