Where We Come From with Mona Arshi and Sammy Wright
Digital Event
How do the stories of our childhood impact who we become? From the independent publisher & Other Stories we are delighted to introduce two debut novelists who ask this very question. Secondary school teacher and winner of the Northern Book Prize Sammy Wright brings us Fit, the unrelenting tale of a young protagonist trying to forge a path from foster care to a more glamourous adulthood. Mona Arshi’s Somebody Loves You depicts a young girl who refuses to speak in the midst of her mother’s mental illness, exploring the choice to own or reject the stories that shape her. Chaired by Yara Rodrigues Fowler, author of Stubborn Archivist.
