An evening with Deborah Morgan

Join us for what promises to be a fantastic evening with local author Deborah Morgan as we hear all about her most recent novel Imagine Living.  If you lost your heart to Robyn in Deborah's critically acclaimed and best-selling debut "Disappearing Home" here at last is the long awaited sequel and our chance to discover what Robyn does next. 

Imagine Living is hugely character-driven with a strong sense of place. Robyn is a survivor, she is adored by her beloved Nan, who has taken care of her since she was young. But once Nan dies, Robyn finds herself homeless, grieving for May, and yearning to find the father she has never met but she doesn't know where to begin her search. One night, when she is sleeping rough on a city centre bench, the unthinkable happens and in a heartbreaking scene, she is attacked. In this coming-of-age story, we see Robyn fighting for her life, fierce and resilient, a character who is intelligent and funny, despite the life she has been dealt. There are warm, caring characters in this book that you will adore. How does Robyn, homeless and on the streets, end up eating Sunday lunch in the Adelphi Hotel wearing a Dior gown?

Deborah Morgan is an author whose first novel, Disappearing Home, received much critical acclaim. Her second novel, Imagine Living, was released in February 2023.
