at Booka Bookshop
OswestryAN EVENING WITH CHRISTIE WATSON – MORAL INJURIES
19:30 - 20:30 26th March 2024
Booka BookshopMore InformationJoin us for an evening with bestselling author Christie Watson as she talks about her new novel Moral Injuries, a a page-turning thriller centred around three female medics bound by friendship, fierce ambition and one fatal night they’ve sworn to forget!
You’re trained to save the lives of others. How far would you go to save your own? Ruthlessly ambitious Olivia, anxious perfectionist Laura and free-spirited risk-taker Anjali couldn’t be more different.
Yet their friendship, which began on the first day of medical school, has kept them inseparable for twenty-five years. As wild all-nighters and exam pressures gave way to the struggles and joys of new motherhood and intense jobs, their bond remained unbreakable.
Years ago they promised that nothing would come between them, and to do anything for one another, including burying one night they have never spoken about: a drug-fuelled university party that forced them to make a deadly choice that could still destroy them.
When an eerily similar tragedy strikes involving their teenage children, everything the three women have built threatens to shatter around them, and they are left asking just how far you can stretch a friendship before it snaps.
A registered nurse for twenty years before becoming a writer and researcher, Christie Watson won the Costa First Novel Award for her debut, Tiny Sunbirds Far Away. In 2018 she published a memoir of her time as a nurse, The Language of Kindness for which we hosted an event. It is currently being adapted for television. We look forward to welcoming Christie back to Oswestry to celebrate the publication of Moral Injuies!
Reviews
An exploration of moral ambiguity and what it really means to protect a life. Watson understands human flaws with empathy and insight. I’ve never read a novel before that combines such riveting accounts of frontline medicine, female friendship and family dynamics. Unique and compelling. – ELIZABETH DAY
Moral Injuries takes the reader into a world where medicine meets morality, and every choice has a cost. With page-turning twists, it explores friendship, betrayal and the decisions that define us – NATHAN FILER, author of The Shock of the Fall
Tickets: £8 without book (Admits One, ticket redeemable against a signed copy of Moral injuries) or £17 with book (Admits One, includes a signed copy of Moral Injuries).

AN EVENING WITH CHRISTIAN LEWIS – HILDASAY TO HOME

at Booka Bookshop
OswestryAN EVENING WITH CHRISTIAN LEWIS – HILDASAY TO HOME
19:30 - 20:30 28th March 2024
Booka BookshopMore InformationJoin us for an evening with bestselling author Christian Lewis as he talks about his new book Hildasay to Home – how he found a family by walking the UK’s coastline.
Walking saved his life. Now it will help find him a family. In the follow-up to his Sunday Times bestselling Finding Hildasay, Christian Lewis takes his next steps.
Since his time on Hildasay, Chris’ adventure has only gotten wilder. No one was more surprised than Chris when, in November 2020, he had an unlikely (seemingly destined) encounter with fellow adventurer Kate. The two turned out to be kindred spirits and – even more astonishingly – Kate made the bold decision to join Chris on the walk of a lifetime. Day in, day out, as they trekked the coastline down from Scotland together, their relationship grew, and soon the couple were thrown in at the deep end when their first child – baby Magnus – arrived.
But away from Scotland, Chris’ struggles with mental health returned. The solitude of Hildasay seemed far away, and he unravelled once again. Several times Chris was attacked by groups of youths because of his unruly appearance, and as a result he became more and more anxious and withdrawn, avoiding almost any interactions with new people. Through injuries and setbacks, with Jet the dog aging and baby Magnus growing by the day, the adventurous family of four had to find their feet and come together to complete this epic challenge. They’ve navigated the east coast of Scotland, through Yorkshire and East Anglia, and struggled through to the Jurassic Coast where Chris slowly came back into himself. With the home stretch to Wales in sight and almost half a million pounds raised, Chris reflects on all that he’s learned and the family he’s found for himself along the way.
We’re delighted to welcome Christian Lewis to Oswestry to celebrate the publication of Hildasay to Home. This is sure to be an inspirational event!
On 1 August 2017, former paratrooper Christian Lewis set off from Swansea to walk the entire coastline of the UK. Christian’s search for self-discovery, and his goal to raise awareness and funds for the veterans’ charity SSAFA, would become a journey beyond his or anyone’s expectations. From raising over a quarter of a million pounds to adopting a dog called Jet to finding love with fellow adventurer Kate, he had no idea when he started this once-in-a-lifetime experience that he would be crossing the finish line some five and a half years later with a fiancée, a baby and renewed sense of purpose. His story is one of survival and hope, but it’s also proof that, with the right mindset, anything is possible. Finding Hildasay, Christian’s first book about his journey, was a Sunday Times bestseller.
Tickets: £8 without book (Admits One, ticket redeemable against a signed copy Hildasay to Home or £20 with book (Admits One, includes a signed copy of Hildasay to Home).
