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 (who voiced the audio book) 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.
