Join Jonathan Amid for a Skrywersaand with Theresa Papenfus and Elmaré Lombard in Jannie se Leeskamer on the 15th of August. Elmaré Lombard is a retired psychologist, dreamer, lover of people, animals and plants and a vasbyter. Her first book, Wildepruim, points to the irony of life: the simplicity of a meager life leads to appreciation, cheerfulness and humour, and the scars of life unlock an endurance, joy of life and positive energy. In Sing, Mamma, sing, writer and publisher, Theresa Papenfus documents and unpacks the frustration, tenderness, wonder, pride and distress that every mother knows. “Before I forget. Before they grow up, gone, in the blink of an eye.” She would make notes about her children, she decided before her youngest was born. The conversation between Jonathan, Elmaré and Theresa promises to be heartfelt and memorable.

Thursday 15 August from 17:30 for 18:00 to 19:30 in Jannie se Leeskamer.
