Meet Willa Waters, aged 8… 33… and 93. On one impossible day in
1965, eight-year-old Willa receives a mysterious box containing a jar
of water and the instruction: ‘One ocean: plant in the
backyard.’ So she does – and somehow creates an extraordinary
time slip that allows her to visit her future selves. On one
impossible day in 1990, Willa is 33 and a mother-of-two when her
childhood self magically appears in her backyard. But she’s also a
woman haunted by memories of her dark past – and is on the brink of
a decision that will have tragic repercussions… On one impossible
day in 2050, Willa is a silver-haired, gumboot-loving 93-year-old
whose memory is fading fast. Yet she knows there’s something she has
to remember, a warning she must give her past selves about a terrible
event in 1990. If only she could recall what it was. Can the three
Willas come together, to heal their past and save their future, before
it’s too late? Join debut author Tabitha Bird as she discusses her
amazing new novel A Lifetime of Impossible Days. Books will be
available for purchase at the event, or bring your copy from home for
Tabitha to sign. Presented as part of the Lord Mayor's Writers in
Residence series.
