Join us to hear from author and positive aging advocate Anna Johnston on her new novel When Lemons give you Life. A sharply funny, heart-stirring novel about rediscovering joy when life has lost its flavour, from the author of the bestselling novel The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife (recently acquired by Netflix).
Retired Michelin-star chef Griff Barlow has lost his appetite. He’s done with grief, guilt and the beige slop they dare call food at Sunny Glen Aged Care Facility, where he now resides.
Life’s given him all the lemons he can handle – so he breaks into the nursing home kitchen to bake himself one last tart. Soon, he’s regularly sneaking in after dark, serving up flavour and comfort to his fellow residents. Yet behind the apron is a lie so big it could destroy the one thing he has left to protect . . .
But the truth has a way of boiling over – and when secrets, soufflés and second chances collide, they may discover a recipe for forgiveness.
