SUMMARY:How Do You Talk to Ghosts?
DESCRIPTION:What would the countryside look like today, if we hadn’t shut the farmgate on women after WWII? And how exactly do you talk to ‘ghosts’?\nNicola’s second book, Ghosts of the Farm, is a true story of two women who both wanted to be farmers, in the same village in West Berkshire, 60-80 years apart.\nIt involves a forgotten diary from the rural homefront in the 1940s; pioneering women farmers, increasing coincidences and encounters in the same fields, a friendly, dual ‘haunting’ and the gateways horses lead us through.\nFind out how exactly you talk to ‘ghosts’ as Nicola discusses how the book, which has been called ‘an outstanding fusion of memoir and creative historical non-fiction’ came about.\nThis talk is free to members of Berkshire Family History Society but we request a donation of £5 from non-members.\nIf you can, could you book via the booking link below. We would be very grateful if you would as this gives us an idea of the number of attendees in advance. This small change also gives non members the flexibility of using card payments if they prefer. We will always welcome all those who arrive on the day and non-members can still pay at the venue, using a cash payment.\nNicola Chester is the award-winning author of On Gallows Down, as well as a Guardian Country Diarist and columnist for the RSPB and BBC Countryfile Magazine, and is \nWriter in Residence for Kintbury Chase Eco Centre.\n
