Local author Victoria Scott will be celebrating the publication of her second novel, Grace, with two local book signings in June and July.
The writer, who lives in Lower Sunbury, had great success with her debut novel, Patience, which was named the Booksellers’ Association Book Of The Month last August.
Like Patience, which explored gene therapy, Grace has a major dilemma at its heart – this time, a court battle to decide who will get custody of a baby removed at birth by social services.
Bestselling author Clare Swatman says of Grace: “Grace is a story about women and motherhood and what really makes a mother… It packs an emotional punch, and doesn’t just tug at the heart strings but almost pulls them from you entirely. At the same time, it manages to feel warm and real and heart-breaking all at the same time. I loved it.”
Patience will be published in paperback to coincide with the release of Grace, and Scott will be signing personalised copies of both books at independent bookshop Dennys in Thames Ditton on June 25th from 2pm-4pm and at Waterstones in Walton-on-Thames from 2pm – 3pm on July 9th. No booking is required.
