GOODBYE SARAJEVO - authors on tour

Authors of the wonderful GOODBYE SARAJEVO, Atka Reid and Hana Schofield, are touring the lower North Island in early June. 

 Atka and Hana riveted audiences at the Auckland and Sydney Writers Festivals in May, with their incredibly moving accounts of surviving during the deadly Siege of Sarajevo. I saw/heard them at both Festivals, they are impressive, successful women, despite their harrowing story, and are well worth going along to see. Thoroughly recommended by me.
