Walking Down Memory Lane. In this programme devoted to interviews with Sri Lankans who have spent decades away from their motherland Daisy Wimalagunaratna Abeygunasekara (Daisy Abey) tells the story of how she left Sri Lanka in the sixties and how she came to write poetry and prose. She describes the early difficulties writers have in getting published and the great satisfaction she feels when she receives feedback from her writing. She also tells of her loneliness because she lives so far away from her beloved country Sri Lanka and how her sense of isolation and separation from eastern culture has inspired her to write about the contrasting life styles in rural Sri Lanka set against the hectic stress of life in the inner cities of northern England with the darker side of its culture.
