We’ve got another page-turner on the podcast this week, this time by internationally bestselling author Joanne Harris!
In Broken Light, Bernie Moon has given her life to other people: her husband, her son, her friends. At nineteen she was full of dreams and ambitions; now almost fifty, and going through the menopause, she’s fading, fast. When a young woman is murdered in a local park, it sparks a series of childhood memories and a talent that has lain dormant most of her adult life. But what will she do with this power and who will she become when she decides to use it..?
Perfect for readers of Naomi Alderman’s The Power and Stephen King’s Carrie.
