24th February, 7:30pm - Jessica Stanley, Consider Yourself Kissed

Backstory, 71 Balham High Rd, SW12 9AP

We are stoked to welcome Jessica Stanley, a London based Australian author, to Backstory to talk about her second novel Consider Yourself Kissed.

About the book:

What happens when you find love, but life keeps getting in the way?  When she first meets Adam, Coralie is new to London and feeling adrift. But Adam is clever, witty, and – he insists – half an inch taller than the average British male.

His charming four-year-old daughter, Zora, only adds to his appeal. And yet ten years on, something important is missing from the life Coralie and Adam (though let’s face it, mostly Coralie) have built. Or maybe, having gained everything she dreamed of, Coralie has lost something she once had: herself.

Set against an eventful decade that included the soap opera of five Prime Ministers plus Brexit and Covid, Consider Yourself Kissed puts the subjects of love and family on a grand stage, bringing to life how the intimate drama in our homes inescapably competes for energy and attention with the shared drama of our times.
