In this session we host two of Africa’s most promising award-winning authors – Hawa Jande Golakai from Liberia, whose debut novel
The Lazarus Effect was shortlisted for the
2011 Sunday Times Fiction and the
University of Johannesburg Debut Prize and children’s books author Muthoni wa Gichuru from Kenia. Her young adult fictional title
Breaking the Silence was the first runner up for the
