SUMMARY:'Never Had a Dad: Adventures in Fatherlessness'\, Author talk by Georgie Codd
DESCRIPTION:Georgie Codd grew up without knowing her dad. But in 2018\, a stranger’s practical joke inspired her to embark on a weird\, one-off mission like no other. Aged 31\, she started advertising (or ‘dadvertising’) in newspapers and magazines\, on an international search for her perfect father figure. \nDescribed by the Times as a ‘dating quest with a difference’\, Codd’s latest book ‘Never Had a Dad’ (William Collins\, 2024) tells the remarkable story of what happened next\, and is already under option for a TV series. \nCome along for an unusual evening of twists\, turns\, daughters and dads in Codd’s first storytelling trip to the island. \n‘A strange\, touching but often very funny account of one woman’s search for a father figure’ – Daily Mail \n‘Georgie’s the type of person who gets very creative when she tries to solve a problem’ – This American Life \n‘A tale of fathers\, daughters and missing pieces’ – BBC World Service \n‘So interesting\, so funny\, so moving… I am raving about it to people’ – Katherine Angel\, ‘Daddy Issues’ \n‘What a wonderful idea and what a wonderful project… Everybody needs to get hold of a copy of this book’ – Jo Good\, BBC Radio London \n‘I was riveted… [Georgie’s] writing voice is completely extraordinary’ – Sophie Lewis\, ‘Enemy Feminisms’ \n‘An exploration of what family actually means\, delivered with enough humour to make you forget you’re learning something deep’ – Chelsey Flood\, Overthink Tank \n‘I’ll be very interested to hear how this goes’ – New Scientist \n‘I’m feeling a wee bit uncomfortable’ – Herald Scotland
