Celeste Mohammed (Fiction, June 2016) will be joined by fellow Trinidadian writer Ayanna Lloyd-Banwo to explore themes of belonging, resistance, and legacy — and how West African and Caribbean folklore and history has shaped their storytelling and their characters’ lives. The event: Family and Folklore: Mysticism in West African and Caribbean Stories is part of the Norwich Book Festival.

This event is followed by book sales and signing with The Book Hive.

Can we overcome the pain passed down through generations? In her powerful second novel-in-stories, Ever Since We Small, Celeste Mohammed blends the real and the mythical, the mundane and the magical, to create a vivid tapestry of Indo-Trinidadian family life spanning decades.
