Dear editor,
I must commend Kayla Byrne’s article last week in the 51 about author Roberta Laurie’s experiences in Malawi, Africa and the book Laurie wrote as a result of her travels to Malawi.
However, I wish to correct the sentence in Kayla’s article: “By 2015 she had compiled years worth of stories into a novel, Weaving a Malawi Sunrise”.
Professor Laurie’s book is by no means a novel but a result of years of painstaking research, fact-checking and labour. It was published by the prestigious University Press and hit the Edmonton bestselling list for a work of non-fiction.
Anita Laurie,
Proud sister of Roberta
