Kilcranny News
Book LaunchWe are pleased to announce the launch of a wonderful book of local people's memories called 'Lifelines'. The book is a beautiful collection of stories from the lives of nine local people, some of whom moved here from India or England, others who have lived in Northern Ireland all their lives. It is a record of a conversation that looked at shared human experience at different stages of life. All of the participants were very generous in sharing beautiful, interesting and funny stories from their lives and the book is a real treat to read. There will be free copies available to anyone who attends the launch. The launch happens on Tuesday 31st August at Coleraine Town Halll at 7.30 – 8.30pm. There will be light catering provided and we hope also to have some live music that evening. |

A Fine Balance
by Rohinton Mistry
In 1975, in an unidentified Indian city, Mrs Dina Dalal, a financially pressed Parsi widow in her early 40s sets up a sweatshop of sorts in her ramshackle apartment. She takes in a boarder and two Hindu tailors to sew dresses for an export company. As the four share their stories, then meals, then living space, human kinship prevails and the four become a kind of family, despite the lines of caste, class and religion. When tragedy strikes, their cherished, newfound stability is threatened.
