Evanna Lynch is launching her memoir titled The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting: The Tragedy and The Glory of Growing Up; A Memoir this autumn and we’re giving you the chance to be one of THE first people to read it! Evanna is best known for playing Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter series and for her beauty box – Kinder Beauty. The book will be released on October 14th in the UK and October 19th in the US. Today we’re giving UK fans the chance to win an early copy of the book as well as a few other goodies!
The raw and compelling new memoir from actress and activist Evanna Lynch about the messiness of adulthood, growing up in the spotlight, and her battle between perfection and creativity.
Evanna Lynch has long been viewed as a role model for people recovering from anorexia and the story of her casting as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films has reached almost mythic proportions. Yet even after recovery, there remains a conflict at the very core of her being: a bitter struggle between the pursuit of perfection, and the desire to fully and fearlessly embrace her creativity.
In her memoir, Evanna confronts all the complexities and contradictions within herself and reveals how she overcame a life-threatening eating disorder, began to conquer her self-hate and confronted her fear of leaving the neatness and safety of girlhood for the unpredictable journey of being a woman.
This is a story of the tragedy and the glory of growing up, of mourning girlhood and stepping into the unknown, and how that act of courage is the most creatively liberating thing a woman can do.
