Blink buys new memoir by broadcaster Garraway
Blink, Bonnier Books UK’s commercial non-fiction imprint, has acquired a new memoir from broadcaster Kate Garraway.
Michelle Signore, editorial director, acquired world all language rights to The Strength of Love from Zoe Ross at United Agents, with publication in hardback, e-book and audio scheduled for 14th September 2023. Garraway will narrate the audiobook.
The Strength of Love sees Garraway share the new and unpredictable stages of her family life. The synopsis reads: “Three years since her husband Derek was taken ill, the world is a lot more challenging socially, politically and economically.
“Kate picks up from her début number one best-selling memoir, The Power of Hope, and shares untold details of how she and the whole family have been dealing with the gruelling challenges that come with caring for someone you love most, Derek’s long-term recovery and how the dynamics of their everyday life have been reshaped since Derek came home. This is a celebration of the enduring power of love, even in the darkest of days.”
Garraway said: “The Strength of Love is about Derek’s ongoing battle to take back control of his body and mind, the amazing people who have helped us along the way and how love in all its forms can pull you to the brink one moment, and lift you up the next. We are all learning how to deal with the vast multitude of changes we have experienced in recent times while all trying to navigate through life the best way we can. I know I am far from alone in wrestling with these challenges and while we are lucky in so many ways, I just hope some of the lessons I have learnt will help everyone in their own daily battles, too.”
Signore said: “I am so thrilled to be working with Kate again on her new book. So many of us continue to be in awe of her incredible strength and resilience in the face of the huge changes and uncertainty she faces. With her trademark insight and empathy, Kate tells both her and Derek’s story, as well as reaching out to all of us going through challenging times.”
