Writing real lives in Historical Fiction

Wed 30 Mar, 7:30 pm

This event is a must for anyone working on a novel or interested in creative writing, especially if you are interested in historical novels and/or 20th-century art.

Stephen May, the author of Sell Us the Rope, will be discussing the pleasures and challenges of writing historical fiction about real people, along with Devika Ponnambalam, author of I Am Not Your Eve, which tells the story of Teha’amana, the 13-year-old girl sold to the artist Paul Gaugin in Tahiti.

So if this is the kind of writing you enjoy come along and get some tips for writing real people into your novel.

Indian Tales of Love and Wisdom
Thu 31 March 7:30 pm

We love to present author talks, but we also love to present storytelling in other ways, such as poetry, music and dance.

This will be a rich, cultural evening of Indian dance, music and stories with the magical Annapurna Indian dancers.

Storytellers Indrani Datta and Sarvani Yadavalli will explore nature, love and universality through the works of Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore and Indian classical mythology.
