A story set around the Aberfan disaster will be discussed by an author at an event in Lichfield.

Birmingham-born writer Jo Browning Wroe is appearing at The Hub at St Mary’s on 25th March as part of the Lichfield Literature Festival.

Her book, A Terrible Kindness, follows the story of William Lavery who decides he must take action after hearing of the landslide that has buried a school.

> “His work that night will force William to think about the little boy he was, and the losses he has worked so hard to forget.  
>  
> “But compassion can have surprising consequences, because – as William discovers – giving so much to others can sometimes help us heal ourselves.  
>  
> “This is a beautifully written, dazzling debut by Midlands born and bred author, Jo Browning Wroe.”  
>  
> Lichfield Literature Festival spokesperson

Tickets for the author talk are £12 and can be booked [online](https://lichfieldfestival.org/event/lichfield-literature-jo-browning-wroe/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
