About

Join us to explore the work of Egyptian writer and activist, Ahdaf Soueif. We will read extracts from her novel 'The Map of Love' and her short story collection 'I Think Of You', alongside her essays 'Fragments from the Common Ground' to ask what role political conscience plays in both fiction and non-fiction.

Led by Holly Dawson in The Orchard Tent, this informal session welcomes both new readers and those familiar with the novel to explore and discuss authors from this year's festival.
