Aye Write: Lesley McDowell Introduces Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi & Laura Shepherd-Robinson
15th Mar 2019 • 7:45PM – 8:45PM • Mitchell Library
Debut Author Series
Journalist and novelist Lesley McDowell introduces a remarkable pair of new voices as part of the debut author series:
Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi’s Kintu is an epic tale of fate, fortune and legacy, which vibrantly brings to life a colourful Ugandan family by blending oral tradition, myth, folktale and history.
Blood & Sugar by Laura Shepherd-Robinson is a thrilling historical crime novel which opens in June 1781. An unidentified body hangs upon a hook at Deptford Dock – horribly tortured and branded with a slaver’s mark.
