Struggles in a Strange Land: The Power of Place

2 p.m., Old South Church Sanctuary

Political and personal upheaval in settings as diverse as a post-WWII British internment camp in Palestine, the hills of Kenya, the mountains of Uruguay and the blue waters of the Caribbean reveal the redemptive bonds of friendship and family. Anita Diamant (Day After Night), Anita Shreve (A Change in Altitude), Elizabeth Nunez (Anna In-Between) and Carolina De Robertis (The Invisible Mountain) discuss their work and the role of place in each. A literary tour, hosted by Kim McLarin, author of Jump at the Sun and host of Basic Black on WGBH. Sponsored by the New Center for Arts and Culture.
