Book your place here or RSVP via the bookshop events page.Refreshments will be served.Our GuestOriginally from South Derbyshire, Neville Judson has had short stories, poems, stage and audio plays published and produced. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and a keen caver and climber, which is reflected in the themes in Breaking Shells. He lives in rural North Yorkshire, between Harrogate and Skipton.About the book:Simon, Tim and Ruth grow up together in a quiet English village, finding adventure in caving, climbing, motorcycles, and dreaming of the future. But in the shifting world of 1960s Britain – a decade of both awakening and repression – hidden desires will soon test every bond they share.As Simon and Tim leave for university, one to Manchester and the other to Cambridge, they discover love that defies convention, and a society that punishes difference. Simon wrestles with faith, family and his own shame, while Tim is drawn into a dangerous friendship that will change his life forever. Meanwhile, Ruth’s affection for her Sunday School teacher deepens into something both forbidden and freeing.Set against the backdrop of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967, Breaking Shells is a tender, courageous story about growing up, coming out, and finding self-respect in the face of prejudice. With lyricism and quiet power, it explores how friendship and love – however fragile – can endure, even in the most unforgiving times.Breaking Shells is published by Valley Press.
