Impossible People

"So we are impossible people. And we have to remain impossible. That is the price of the future..."

Tom is an idealistic young physicist who believes that science is pure. But as he is drawn into the nightmarish world of a despised, outcast minority, he discovers that some truths are too subversive to be allowed to exist...

Anna Lyndsey's first novel, Impossible People, is a story of love, friendship, science and survival - inspired by real, extraordinary lives. Her memoir of life with extreme light sensitivity, Girl in the Dark (Bloomsbury 2015) was translated into several languages and was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week.

About the Author
Lyndsey, Anna: - "Anna Lyndsey worked for several years as a civil servant in Whitehall until she became ill with extreme light sensitivity. Desperate to stop her brain exploding from boredom, she started scribbling in the darkness, and her memoir Girl in the Dark was published by Bloomsbury in 2015 and was chosen as a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. Like many people who suffer from chronic illness, Anna Lyndsey found her physical condition frequently dismissed as "all in the mind", despite clear evidence that it wasn't. Now formally diagnosed with an immune system disorder which causes severe reactions to a range of everyday triggers, she has become fascinated by the way establishments of all kinds - corporate, political, scientific - react to new uncomfortable truths, and how often they reach for "psychological" labels to keep those truths at bay. This is the subject of her novel Impossible People. For more information see https: //annalyndsey.com/"
