In Conversation: Lila Cain and Paterson Joseph.

Afrori Books loves a collaboration, so, we are delighted to collaborate with our friends at Brighton Book Festival to put on this pop up event.

Blackbirds of St Giles is written by Lila Cain. Lila Cain is a collaboration between authors Marcia Hutchinson and Kate Griffin. (We did say we loved a collaboration) they are joined by actor, presenter and author Paterson Joseph to talk about this incredible historical novel set in 1700's London.

"In Conversation" has grown into a remarkable event series at Afrori Books. Whether it’s a lively auditorium filled with hundreds or a cosy, intimate setting, these events offer a chance to engage with some of the brightest established and emerging authors and creatives from around the globe. These are one-of-a-kind opportunities to hear personal stories and experiences, shared with honesty and openness. At Afrori Books, we’re committed to providing a safe space for Black creatives to tell their stories in their own voices. We’d love for you to join the conversation.
