author talk: The Interview Chain by Lynn Farley-Rose
Thursday 12th August
in the shop - 7pm - free entry
Please register here via Eventbrite if you wish to attend so we can manage social distancing on the shop floor, should we still need to at this time.
Join Lynn Farley-Rose in the shop to hear about her fascinating book of human connections - The Interview Chain.
Everyone has something interesting to say if you take the time to listen. The Interview Chain is a series of conversations—each interviewee was asked to nominate someone they admire as the next link. Starting from a casual conversation on a boat on the Thames, the chain wended its way for over 23,000 miles, alighting on three continents and gathering up personal perspectives on issues that really matter in the world today. At this event Lynn will talk about these remarkable people, each of whom had wise words to share about the human world—about things that help to make it a kinder and more connected place.
Whilst working as a research psychologist Lynn became fascinated by what people do to cope when things gets tough. Her first book, 31 Treats And A Marriage, was a personal account of reconnecting with life after years as a wife and mother, when everything was overturned by unforeseen calamities. This led her to wonder about other people's stories, particularly on the question of where people find strength and inspiration.
Lynn lives in Southampton, and featured on BBC Radio Solent on the publication date of The Interview Chain. You can listen back here - she’s up at around 2hrs 39 mins into the show.
This is the most lovely approach to tell social change stories that I have read about ever, and it is an overwhelming honor to be part of this book. - Ruth Messinger, Global Ambassador to the American Jewish World Service and former New York City political leader.
