About this event
Cornish-based writer Sara MacDonald will discuss the themes in her book, ‘The Long Road from Kandahar’. Her son was sent to fight in Afghanistan in 2009 and Sara’s book tells of the impact of war and separation on families. It is also an exploration of friendship and trust that transcends cultural differences for the English and Pakistani boys at the heart of her story.
Sara says: ‘I live above the South West coastal path in the teeth of most gales. It is glorious in summer and challenging in winter. I write my books at a desk facing the sea below my garden. Cornwall has been the background, landscape or influence for nearly all my books.’
