About this Event
At the end of Saturday afternoon, Canadian journalist and a Chief International Correspondent and senior presenter for the BBC, Lyse Doucet, will be in conversation with Louise Penny, talking about her recent book The Finest Hotel in Kabul. When the Inter-Continental Kabul opened in 1969, Afghanistan’s first luxury hotel symbolized a dream of a modernizing country connected to the world. More than fifty years on, the Inter-Continental is still standing. It has endured Soviet occupation, multiple coups, a grievous civil war, a US invasion and the rise, fall and rise of the Taliban. History lives within its scarred windows and walls, and Doucet recalls many stories from her time as a international correspondent, where the hotel was her home-away-from-home.
