Hear from bestselling author and journalist Funmi Fetto in conversation with Kenya Hunt, Writer and Editor-in-Chief of ELLE Magazine at Charlotte Street Hotel.

Funmi will be discussing her new book Hail Mary which tells the stories of nine contemporary Nigerian women discovering what it means to confront societal, cultural and religious ideas that have held them hostage for too long.  Passionate raw and full of heart, this unforgettable collection brings to life the rich diversity of Nigerian women’s experience.

Look forward to an insightful talk followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.

Enjoy a two-course dinner and a glass of wine before or after the event by adding a reservation at Oscar Restaurant to your ticket purchase.

Copies of Hail Mary will be available to purchase from BookBar at the event.
