Pageturners Read The Best of Adam Sharp

A novel about love, music and coming to terms with the past, from the author of the international bestseller The Rosie Project. On the cusp of fifty, Adam Sharp has a loyal partner, earns a good income as an IT contractor and is the music-trivia expert at quiz nights. It’s the lifestyle he wanted, but something’s missing.

Two decades ago, on the other side of the world, his part-time piano playing led him into a passionate relationship with Angelina Brown, who’d abandoned law studies to pursue her acting dream. She gave Adam a chance to make it something more than an affair—but he didn’t take it. And now he can’t shake off his nostalgia for what might have been.

Then, out of nowhere, Angelina gets in touch. What does she want? Does Adam dare to live dangerously? How far will he go for a second chance?

Come along to Pageturners Book Discussion Group on Wednesday 14th December at 5.30pm to talk about The Best of Adam Sharp by Graeme Simsion.

Children were surprised when author Lisa Limbrick read a chapter from her book Tom Topp and the Great Adventure Swap at Orange City Library and lemons, king prawns and peas flew into the audience (they were really lollies) just like in the story.
