What’s on in York: Kathleen Harryman: The Other Side of the Looking Glass
York Explore Library : Mon 9 May : 2.30pm – 3.30pm : £4 includes refreshments
The Other Side of the Looking Glass by Kathleen Harryman is a suspenseful thriller that you won’t be able to put down.
A beautiful lady wakes up in hospital with no memory of who she is or anything about her life. Her life is a blank. Liam is there when she wakes up and says she is his wife, Kate. He is attractive, well dressed and obviously very wealthy. However, something makes her distrust him. Why are his eyes so cold? And why doesn’t she remember him? As Kate is taken home to her luxury mansion and discovers what her life is like with the controlling Liam, she finds her ordeal is only just beginning. Then her memory starts to come back and the truth emerges… This is a truly exciting tale of subterfuge, mystery, mistaken identity and true love.
Kathleen Harryman lives in York, with her husband and two daughters, and family dog and cat.
After attending writing groups, Kathleen was inspired to write her own book based around the city where she lives. Stories run through Kathleen’s head whilst out walking the family dog. The miles disappear and are replaced with stories that are then brought to life in print. Writing is a natural part of Kathleen, and she enjoys watching the characters come to life.
