Northfields Community Library is holding a special event as part of its Monday Social series. On Monday, 29 September at 2:30pm, local author Lindsay Swan will present an illustrated talk about her book, Accidental Lives. This event is free of charge and open to everyone, with no need to book in advance.
Lindsay Swan, a West London-based writer and former media professional, brings a wealth of experience and insight to her storytelling. Her book Accidental Lives tells the inspiring story of two adventurous women whose lifelong friendship takes them from the fast-paced world of London’s media industry to founding a charity in a remote fishing village in South India. The narrative explores themes of friendship, purpose, and transformation, offering a heartfelt look at how ordinary lives can take extraordinary turns.
During the talk, Lindsay will share the real-life inspirations behind the book, accompanied by visuals that bring the journey to life. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear firsthand about the challenges and triumphs faced by the women in the story, as well as Lindsay’s own experiences as a writer.
The event will take place at Northfields Community Library, located at 255a Northfields Avenue, right next to Northfields Tube Station and served by the E2 and E3 bus routes. Tea and coffee will be served.
