About this Event
Join us to launch Aberystwyth sisters', Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch and Francesca Rhydderch, new titles on Thursday 7th May at 7pm.
Milk Wood Memoir, the fourth collection by Samantha Wynne-Rhydderch, opens with a handful of family recollections of Dylan Thomas, including Samantha’s grandfather’s presence in the poet’s house on the night he was shot at in March 1945. Thomas’s wartime sojourn in New Quay in West Wales from 1944 to 1945 was one of the most important creative periods in his life. Many scholars have linked the small coastal town to the imagined Llareggub (buggerall) in which Thomas set his most famous work, Under Milk Wood.
Francesca Rhydderch is certain that she's chronically ill, but her doctors disagree. Twelve months later she can't even walk down the street, and her latest consultant is still suggesting that her neurological problems will just go away on their own. Then she comes across a specialist who changes the course of her illness. She may well be in danger of fighting a losing battle - with time, memory, herself - but she learns there are ways to live in the present by making peace with the past.
This event will be held at Aberystwyth Town Library and it will be cash only on the night; pre-orders recommended.
