Join author Alice Fowler at Frimley Green Library as she delves into a world of change and reinvention in her latest book, The Truth Has Arms and Legs. This poignant short story collection explores pivotal moments that transform our lives, where relationships are as delicate as turtle eggs, and just as easily smashed.
Jenny, whose life is defined by small disasters, discovers a more generous version of herself. A traveller girl might just win her race and alter her life’s course. A widow, cut off in a riverside backwater, opens her heart to a stranger. In this captivating collection, readers will be moved by the raw vulnerability of human connection, and the resilience that enables us to thrive and grow. In change, Alice Fowler’s characters find the ability to be truly free.
