Is That It Then?

Description

Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic in North London, Is That It, Then? follows a diverse cast of mainly older characters who have found, or who are looking for, new relationships.

Is That It, Then? is a poignant and authentic portrayal of a generation often overlooked in novels. This moving narrative delves into the lives of characters grappling with anxiety, frustration, desire, temptation, illness, and the complexities of aging. Through their experiences, the novel explores the profound question of what it truly means to be human, offering readers a compelling and thought-provoking journey into human nature.

Retired Head of Exercise and Health Department at Morley College, Jenny Thomas, was inspired to set up local Book Groups where she recognised the lack of novels portraying active, healthy older characters, leading her to publish The Silver Swimmers. Advocating for representation, she highlights the underrepresentation of Boomers in literature despite being avid readers. Jenny’s work extends beyond fiction, with contributions to articles, poems, and Over Streams and Squirrel Woods.
