The Worry Bottles – launches 24th Oct!
Join us at the Guildhall for our triple book launch: readings, music, bookish chat. Free tickets!
Naomi, a stressed businesswoman, acts out a coping mechanism by writing down the things which worry her and putting them into bottles which she throws into the Bristol Channel. Matthew, a painter who has retreated from the world to live in isolation on Haffrey Island, finds them and they create ripples in his existence. He starts to look out for the bottles.
The Worry Bottles examines how landscape shapes us, exploring the conflict which many people feel between today’s overly busy lifestyle and the desire for a simpler life, more in touch with nature and stillness.
Shortlisted for the Impress Prize for New Writers, Longlisted for the Mslexia Novel Prize.
