- **Event Description**: Join us for the launch of Patricia Schonstein's captivating new novel, "The Glass Island".

Patricia Schonstein is an acclaimed South African novelist and poet whose work has been praised by Nobel Laureates Archbishop Desmond Tutu and J.M. Coetzee. As the Story Weaver for The Global Empathy Project, she creates books that inspire compassion, kindness, and care for both the Earth and one another.

Set in a magnificent, Venice-inspired city slowly sinking beneath the weight of time, "The Glass Island" transports readers to a mysterious island beyond the lagoon. Once a prison for political dissidents, it has become a sanctuary of peace under the guidance of the enigmatic Magistra and her Contemplatives. Here, five influential visitors gather to confront questions of ethical decay, tyranny, truth, and the enduring power of creativity.

Lyrical, thought-provoking, and beautifully crafted, "The Glass Island" is Patricia Schonstein's eighth novel. Richly woven with poetry, art, and sumptuous food, it is a haunting meditation on beauty and brutality, and humanity's enduring fascination with power and war.

Includes a lovely lunch.  To book, contact us on 079 833 8811.
