How I Learned to Stop Saluting Magpies by Lynn Farley-Rose
Lynn grew up believing that saluting magpies could keep bad luck at bay. But after a string of disasters—illness, financial ruin, divorce—she’s forced to admit: the magpie magic isn’t working.
At rock bottom, she turns to a lifeline—a list of treats and adventures she’d always meant to try but never quite got round to. As she slowly ticks them off, what begins as a quest for distraction becomes something deeper.
A train rattles across America. Flamingos flap. Secrets surface. There’s clifftop terror. And step by step, old fears, inherited wounds, and superstitions begin to loosen their grip—creating space for forgiveness, of herself and of others.
How I Learned to Stop Saluting Magpies is a funny, thoughtful memoir about letting go, moving on, and inching—slightly suspiciously—toward joy.
About Lynn Farley-Rose
While working as a research psychologist, Lynn Farley- Rose became fascinated by how people cope when things get tough. Her first book 31 Treats And A Marriage is a personal account of reconnecting with life after unforeseen calamities, and in The Interview Chain she talks to remarkable people about things that help to make the world a kinder and more connected place. She grew up by the sea in Devon, and then lived in London until a move to rural Sussex resulted in a complete change of lifestyle. At one point she was responsible for the welfare of thirty-two animals and eight species including her four children. She now lives in Hampshire and loves her adult children but has no pets.
