About the Book

Brought to you by Penguin. Twenty-year-old Jago Trevarno is living a simple life in Cornwall with his uncle following a life-changing brain injury. Slowly adjusting to the reality of his new life, he gets caught up in the murky world of local villain, Bill Sligo, who appears to have designs on Jago’s uncle’s farm and in particular a field. Jago determines to find out why Bill Sligo wants the field – and in so doing puts his own life in grave danger. Beautifully written, spare and elegiac, filled with shafts of light and darkness as well as the beauty and harshness of the Cornish landscape, Jago’s journey is one of hope, acceptance and of resilience as he comes to terms with this, his second life. © Patrick Charnley 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026

About the Author :
Patrick Charnley grew up in the English West Country where he fell in love with Cornwall, the setting for this novel. While convalescing from a cardiac arrest that very nearly ended his life and left him with a brain injury, he began to write. He now lives in north London with his wife and children. This, My Second Life is his first novel.

Review :
Touching, richly evocative. A remarkable debut novel Utterly absorbing, beautifully written and insightful in unexpected ways. This, My Second Life is a moving must-read An intense and unexpected debut. A beautiful piece of writing An unexpectedly life affirming story woven into the fabric of a thriller Thrilling and tender, I enjoyed every word. Jago is a very original memorable narrator, full of warmth and optimism Deceptively simple yet completely compulsive. I was absorbed by Jago's story and the world around him
