Launch event for A Nun and the Pig, by Treive Nicholas, 7:00pm online & in person on Thursday 15th July 2021
P&G Wells is excited to present this exclusive opportunity to hear local author Treive Nicholas talk about and read from his new book, A Nun and the Pig: Tales from South Africa in this ‘in conversation event.
In 1980, while Nelson Mandela languished in jail, an enthusiastic and hopelessly naive British teenager arrived at a local school in Mandela’s home state of Transkei. Wide-eyed and faced with an unfamiliar world, Treive Nicholas was about to embark on an adventure he would never forget. Looking back on this year forty years later, A Nun and the Pig offers a remarkable insight into this politically charged but little-known part of Africa and a lived experience ranging from the surreal to the heart-warming; the wonderful to the tragic. We look forward to talking to Treive about his adventures.

The year 2025 marks the 75th anniversary of final demobilisation of the Women’s Land Army in 1950. Hampshire’s contributions were substantial; it might have been the first county to embrace the need for women farm workers, to have more members per head of population, Sparsholt College devoted almost its entire curriculum to training women and girls for employment on British farms, and both First World War ministers of Agriculture came from the county.
