DESCRIPTION:These aren’t the days to pretend you’re only a wife or a sist
 er or a mother\, she says. We’re more than this.\n\nIn her stunning Book
 er Prize shortlisted novel\, The Shadow King\, Maaza Mengiste creates a 
 sweeping tale in which she writes back into history the women who fought
  in the Second Italo-Ethiopian war. There are many shadows cast across t
 he story: of gender expectations\, of religious persecution\, of the mis
 use of power\; but Maaza meets these with everyday heroic characters who
  demonstrate that a narrative can be reshaped. Maaza is an Ethiopian-Ame
 rican author of two novels. Her debut\, Beneath the Lion’s Gaze\, was na
 med one of the Ten Best Contemporary African Books by The Guardian. Maaz
 a will be in conversation with MLF Patron and award-winning novelist Kam
 ila Shamsie. Sponsored by Weightmans. \n\nA Manchester Literature Festiv
 al event presented in partnership with the Centre for New Writing and Cr
 eative Manchester.\n\nApproximate running time 60 minutes. This event wi
 ll be available for ticket holders to watch for 72 hours after the strea
 med broadcast.     \n\nBook here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/maaza-m
