An Evening With Sia Figiel
We're pleased to have internationally acclaimed Samoan writer Sia Figiel
at the library this week for a reading from her long awaited new novel Freelove followed by questions and book signing.
Figiel won the 1997 Commonwealth Writer’s Prize, Best First Book for the region for her ground breaking novel, 'Where We Once Belonged', a classic in Pacific Island literature which has been translated into German, French, Spanish, Catalan and Dutch. She has written three other novels, 'The Girl in The Moon Circle' (1996), 'They Who Do Not Grieve' (1998), and her latest 'Freelove' (2017), hot off the press and called “Powerful. Sagacious. Hypnotic. A Masterpiece!”
