Kate Sawyer: Author of This Family & The Stranding

Local author Kate Sawyer will be in conversation about her new Bury St Edmunds based novel THIS FAMILY. With shades of Mrs Dalloway, THIS FAMILY is 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.

Kate will also discuss her Costa shortlisted and East Anglian Book Award winning debut novel THE STRANDING and talk about the process of adapting it for the screen.
