Maybe, Perhaps, Possibly
‘Exquisitely beautiful and so perceptive’ JOANNA CANNON
‘A wholly enchanting, entirely beautiful and utterly transporting tale’ SAMUEL BURR
From the Costa-shortlisted author of THE OTHER HALF OF AUGUSTA HOPE and ALL MY MOTHERS
The story of two people who have no idea how to fall in love…
On the tiny island of Rokesby, Addie helps her mother run a women’s retreat. Dreaming daily of escape, she consoles herself by swimming in the ocean that surrounds them.
On the neighbouring island, joined to Rokesby by a bridge at low tide, Sol has sought refuge at a wind-swept prayer house, grieving both his mother’s death and his father’s devastating betrayal. Alone and anxious, he takes comfort in birdwatching, books and the sounds of the sea.
Introverts with turbulent pasts and wary hearts, Sol and Addie are both drawn to nature far more than to people – until they catch sight of one another in the wild. Can they break free from past lessons in love to risk a better future together?
From the Costa-shortlisted author of THE OTHER HALF OF AUGUSTA HOPE and ALL MY MOTHERS, this is a beautifully observed and life-affirming novel about finding yourself, and then allowing someone else to find you.

'Joanna Glen's writing is exquisitely beautiful and so perceptive. Maybe, Perhaps, Possibly is such a powerful story, filled with hope and kindness, and the reassurance that no one is truly a misfit, just that we have yet to discover where we belong. Joanna's writing is so wise and comforting, and this truly was a joy to read' JOANNA CANNON -
