Author will speak at local library
Scripps Ranch author Alain Rolland, featured in the September edition of Scripps Ranch News, will speak at the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library in the Community Room on Jan. 27, 2025, from 4 to 5 p.m. Rolland will speak about his recently published historical fiction book titled “Six Years of Absence – An Endless Confinement.” The novel was inspired by true events and his father’s odyssey in World War II.
He will talk about how, during the pandemic, he discovered a couple of hand-written pages from his dad narrating his journey through WWII that inspired him to write a fiction about the captivating six-year odyssey of a French soldier, Alexandre, from Brittany (France) to Pomerania (now Poland) in World War II. He will present his historical fiction, a testament to courage, resilience, friendship and love.
