An inspired morning Penzance Litfest with Beth Lynch & Lisa Woollett (& chair @EmmaTimpany) who delved into the revelation, concealment, history & loss found at the coastal edges. New festival venue @newlynexchange gallery was gorgeous in the sunlight too! #BookTwitter

Really thought provoking conversation between Patrick Gale and Neel Mukherjee; lots of interesting and challenging themes explored. Teed up my purchase of “Choice” and further discussions with my wife after the event. Thank you Penzance Litfest
