This author event with Mahsuda Snaith offers a unique opportunity to hear from an award-winning writer whose work delves into themes of identity, belonging, and resilience. Mahsuda’s storytelling blends rich, diverse characters with deeply emotional narratives, making her talks both inspiring and thought-provoking. Her insights into the writing process, her journey as an author, and her ability to tackle complex social issues through fiction provide valuable perspectives for both readers and aspiring writers alike. Whether you're a fan of her work or interested in exploring new voices in contemporary literature, an event with Mahsuda Snaith is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Born in Luton, Mahsuda and her family moved to Leicester when she was six years old. Her debut novel The Things We Thought We Knew is ‘Heartbreaking, bittersweet and utterly unforgettable’, a powerful story about the things we remember and the things we wish we could forget.
