Art of Words with Anna Maynard at Smithton Library

Author Anna Maynard will join us to discuss her heartfelt new novel Flowers In July, which follows Mary Roberts, a driven emergency doctor whose carefully planned life is upended after a shocking betrayal. In need of a temporary escape, Mary signs up to help run a wilderness expedition medicine course. She soon discovers that rock climbing, plunging into freezing cold water, and working in the close company of a grumpy yet disconcertingly magnetic retrieval doctor are pushing her way out of her comfort zone.

Suddenly, everything she thought she knew about herself is starting to unravel. The question is, what will the fallout be? A breakdown in her relationship with her sister? Her mother’s brittle mental health reaching the point of catastrophe? Or – most dangerous of all – could Mary Roberts finally be ready to fall in love?

Enjoy an uplifting night of music, words, fun and celebration, with the Art of Words Writing Competition winners announced during the evening.Light supper provided
