In November we're treated to two great author visits.
On November 8, Caroline Laurent, winner of the Prix Maison de la Presse 2020, will be here. Franco-Mauritian author Laurent's book An Impossible Return is a novel based on the heartbreaking story of the people of the Chagos Islands, who were evicted by the UK government in the 1960s and barred from ever returning to their homes.
Then, on November 15, Mason Ball is here to celebrate the life of his father, cartoonist Murray Ball, the man who could see the quirks of human nature and capture them with the stroke of a pen. Mason will tell the stories behind the most iconic characters, including those immortalised in Footrot Flats. Tickets are free - available from Palmerston North Central Library (Main Desk, First Floor) or Palmerston North Paper Plus. |
