We’re very excited to have Caroline Bishop back in the bookshop on Wednesday, March 26th to talk about her new book, The Day I Left You. Caroline is a Lausanne-based writer and author of The Other Daughter and The Lost Chapter. Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, The Day I Left You is a love story about Greta and Henry, who by chance meet in 1982 East Berlin and find a love that’s meant to last a lifetime—until Greta vanishes. Decades later, Henry still has unanswered questions. Greta loved him, and he loved her. They surmounted the odds to be together, and in his heart, he knows their marriage was happy. So why did she leave? And how well did he really know his wife? When a young mother visits Henry’s antique restoration shop, she unknowingly brings with her a clue that sends Henry on a journey to find out what happened to the love of his life all those years ago. Doors will open at 18.30 with light refreshments, the event will start at 19.00. If you would like to come, please sign up here.
