About this Event
Join bestselling author Katriona O’Sullivan as she discusses her powerful new memoir Hungry. With fierce honesty, she interrogates how trauma, class and gender shape the way women see themselves – and how society teaches them to measure their value. Both personal reckoning and powerful reclamation, this is a rallying cry for every woman who has ever felt she had to shrink to survive. She will be in conversation with award-winning journalist Donna Ferguson. Book signing to follow.
