#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Prayers and epiphanies are woven through these novels, wherein the miraculous brushes against the mundane. As characters reckon with ancestral spirits, immaculate conceptions and the possibility of redemption, these stories invite us to consider our own humanity – and however we may define our soul.
Venue update: please note this event will now be held in Auditorium 1.
