Age Guidance: All are Welcome

Author event with Anne Hawk, reading from and discussing ‘The Pages of the Sea’, a novel that ‘gives fresh form to the Windrush era and new voice to its neglected narratives’.Set during the mid-1960s on a Caribbean Island, issues of family, migration and abandonment hang over Wheeler and her unknowable future. A story of sisterhood, family secrets, and the sacrifices of love. No novel comes as close to this heartbreaking evocation of what it’s like to be a child left behind. Anne Hawk grew up in the Caribbean, the UK and Canada. She has worked as a journalist and paralegal and was a secondary school teacher for many years. She is married and lives in London. The Pages of the Sea is her first novel.
