Book Club with Nancy Kricorian: In conversation with Susan Pattie

  • Armenian Institute Iverna Gardens London, England, W8 6TP United Kingdom (map)

We are delighted to welcome special guest, author Nancy Kricorian, whose books we will be discussing at our next Book Club.

Zabelle, Dreams of Bread and Fire, and All the Light There Was each explore displacement, migration, and the process of belonging in different ways and at different times.

Kricorian has tackled new contexts and time periods in each book but her main characters share an inner strength that sees them through shocking reversals and surprises and, sometimes, just a gradual realization and acceptance that life is not turning out just as one had imagined it would. With humour and sensitivity, Kricorian’s ability to portray multi-dimensional characters pumps life into the stories of people full of goodwill, foibles and contradiction. Please read one or more of the books – all available online – and come prepared with your questions for Nancy Kricorian.
