Program Description
Event Details
Join Author Pearl Whitfield for this free reading of her second novel *Apsara* set in 12th-century Cambodia, where a young girl in a remote village is chosen to train as a court dancer (apsara) for King Jayavarman VII. This is an in-person event.
Pearl's books examine completely different eras and societies but both draw upon my particular experiences in Cambodia and rural America. For the last several years I have spent a considerable amount of time in Cambodia where my daughter and small grandson live. When not in Cambodia, I live in a small town in the high desert of Eastern Oregon. Prior to living here, I was in rural Vermont for nearly 30 years.
