Afua Hirsch and Leila Slimani at The Rosendale 15th January - NEARLY SOLD OUT


Recommended Posts

We are enormously excited to announce an event with writer, broadcaster and barrister Afua Hirsch in conversation with internationally acclaimed French author Le?la Slimani.


You may recognise Afua as the social affairs editor of Sky News, or for her journalism in The Guardian.


Brit(ish) is her first book and represents an important intervention in the conversation about race and identity in Britain today.


?The book is wonderful, important, courageous, and it could not be more timely: a vital and necessary point of reference for our troubled age in a country that seems to have lost its bearings? Philippe Sands


Afua will be in conversation with the massively impressive Le?la Slimani.


Le?la is an author and journalist. Last year she became the first Moroccan woman to win France?s most prestigious literary accolade, the Prix Goncourt (think French language Man Booker Prize).


In November French President Macron made Le?la his personal representative of Francophone Affairs to ?represent the open face of Francophonie to a multicultural world?.


Lullaby is Le?la?s first book to be translated into English.


It is the story of a middle-class couple who employ the seemingly perfect nanny, only to come home one day and find she has murdered both of their children. Lullaby is a compulsive, riveting and bravely observed exploration of power, class, race, domesticity and motherhood.


?A taut and exquisitely written novel that will keep you up all night desperately turning the pages. This book is insanely good? Kate Hamer, author of The Girl in the Red Coat and The Doll Funeral.




Tickets are ?10 or ?30 including a copy of both books and can be booked by clicking the following link:

    • If all else fails, a white noise app is good to mask unwanted noises. Sounds like (no pun intended) you might have to have it on quite loud, though .......
    • I'd be interested if anyone else has this as well. Up at Crystal Palace you now have to pay with the RingGo app. It should be free for an hour. I'm on Android and it comes up as free. My wife has an iPhone and it costs 20p every time. Same app, same location, same vehicle, same time. Obviously it's impossible to contact anyone about it and isn't worth the time for 20p but it makes no sense.
    • These two animals rode past me on Lordship Lane, at high speed on the path, all in black on black bikes. I next saw them inside Sainsbury's riding their bikes up the aisles laughing before taking off towards the park. Their intent was clear. My wife tried to excuse them saying that they are probably being pressured by criminal gangs but it looked to me like they were enjoying themselves too much
