Presented by Nicola Garrard

Nicola Garrard

Author Nicola Garrard will read from and talk about the settings, characters and issues raised in her book, and how she used poetry as a method for writing her third novel On the Edge, a novel very much influenced by her childhood in South Devon.

Nicola will also reflect on her experience of moving to a new publisher, Old Barn Books.

See below Photos and reports (Journal/Talks page) from Nov ’25 meeting  – Josh Brown on Dylan Thomas.

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.The man who never reads lives only one.
George R.R. Martin
No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.
Mary Wortley Montague.
Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere.
Jean Rhys
One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.
Carl Sagan
