Nikesh Shukla – Cheltenham Literature Festival

Hashi Mohamed chairs two brilliant writers whose new novels explore the joys and complexities of family life. Michael Donkor’s powerful coming of age novel Holdmoves between Ghana and London as a wayward girl finds kinship with a sensible teenager. Novelist and editor of the phenomenally successful The Good Immigrant, Nikesh Shukla’s The One Who Wrote Destiny depicts a Yorkshire town where a Kenyan family makes a home only to be riven by feuds and fall-outs.
