We were delighted to be part of the prestigious Durham Book Festival this year! Attendees joined us for readings from May We Borrow Your Country on the 13th of October from 2.30-3.30pm at Durham Town Hall, and dipped into stories and poems about displacement, disquiet and desire, as characters cross borders and assimilate new cultures.
May we borrow your country launch
The launch for May We Borrow Your Country took place on the 26th of January, 2019 at Waterstones, Gower Street.
Preti Taneja, winner of the Desmond Elliot Prize, 2018, who has written the foreword for the book, introduced The Whole Kahani. Contributors read brief excerpts from the book and publisher Lynn Michell of Linen Press described what attracted her to the anthology. This was followed by a short panel discussion on the representation of minority voices in literature, after which we opened to Q&A from the audience, and book signing.
It was a truly lively evening with wine and samosas!
