Please join us on Friday 14th July for an evening of conversation with authors Ella Berman and Katie Bishop, hosted by author and lawyer Ella King. The discussion will centre themes of girlhood, memory and trauma, power and consent, and victimhood and shame, which the authors have explored in their incredible novels.
This is a free event, though you can buy a pay-what-you-can ticket to support the ongoing work of The Common Press - creating a safe and welcoming space for London's marginalised communities.
