POSTPONED: An Evening with Kate Sawyer
Unfortunately, this event has been postponed. We’ll update you in due course with the new date and we’re very sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Join us on Thursday 8th June for an evening with Kate Sawyer, who will be discussing her new novel, This Family.
About This Family…
It is my dearest wish, that after so long apart, I am able to bring this family together for my wedding day.
This house. This family. Mary has raised a family in this house.
Watched her children play and laugh and bicker in this house. Today she is getting married in this house, with all her family in attendance. The wedding celebrations have brought fractured family together for the first time in years: there’s Phoebe and her husband Michael, children in tow.
The young and sensitive Rosie, with her new partner. Irene, Mary’s ex-mother-in-law. Even Emma, Mary’s eldest, is back for the wedding – despite being at odds with everyone else.
Set over the course of an English summer’s day but punctuated with memories from the past forty years of love and loss, hope and joy, heartbreak and grief, this is the story of a family. Told by a chorus of characters, it is an exploration of the small moments that bring us to where we are, the changes that are brought about by time, and what, despite everything, stays the same.ainst child abuse and to end human trafficking. Nandana is the Child Protection Ambassador for Save the Children India, a global Author Advocate for Girls’ Education for Room to Read, and a Director of the Women’s Refugee Commission, New York, where she serves on the Programs and Advocacy Committee.
