Broken Light - Hardcover
by Joanne Harris (Author)
A bold and ambitious thriller exploring how women can feel invisible as they grow older--and what happens when they decide to take back control.
Bernie Moon's ambitions and dreams have been forgotten by everyone, even Bernie herself. At nineteen she was full of promise, but now, facing fifty and going through the menopause, she's a fading light. Until the murder of a woman in a local park unlocks a series of childhood memories, and with them, a talent that she has hidden all her adult life. What happens when the frustrations and power of an older woman are finally given their chance to be revealed? Filled with growth and redemption, revenge and visibility, friendship and self-discovery, Broken Light is an explosive new thriller that challenges our notions of womanhood and power.Joanne Harris is an Anglo-French author, whose books include fourteen novels, two cookbooks and many short stories.
