Author of the Week: Meike Ziervogel, Kauthar

Kauthar is the third novel by Meike Ziervogel (author and owner of Peirene Press). Kauthar is the timely story of Lydia, now Kauthar, a white British woman who converts to Islam and gradually becomes psychologically distorted in her faith

'In a story that is grounded in recent current events, yet profoundly metaphysical and philosophical in the questions it poses about love, faith and aggression, Meike Ziervogel once again raises the bar of contemporary literary fiction.’ —Morag Charlwood

Behold Sarah by Lindy Henny – A semi autobiographical novel about the meaning of life.

Lindy Henny is an amazing role model for all of us. Now in her 80’s this is her first novel. Lindy is a writer, a poet, a therapist, playwright and artist. She tells us her life story of sexual abuse, an alcoholic mother and working in a prison. Lindy lives on a bohemian house boat in Chelsea surrounded by her art. Prepare to float on the flotsam-jetsam Thames, guided through quirky parts of London, be banged up blissfully in a high security prison, fall in and out of love, and out and into sex, and, deep breath, find yourself in the painfully comfortable paradox of the therapy room.

ISRAELI Author Ayelet Gundar-Goshen ONE NIGHT, MARKOVITCH Author of the Week with Donna Freed

Israeli Psychologist and screenwriter, Ayelet Gundar-Goshen has produced a stunning first novel that is epic, hilarious, unbelievable and prosaic, all at the same time. It was inspired by the true story of Jewish men who were sent back to Germany from Palestine to Germany to rescue Jewish women by marrying them and taking them back to Palestine. They were supposed to divorce them upon landing in Palestine, but Markovitch refuses. Talking from Tel Aviv, Ayelet is as beautifully open and frank as her book.

Genital Mutilation "What Was Never Said" by EMMA CRAIGIE Author of the Week with Donna Freed

What Was Never Said is a young adult novel about 15 year old Zahra who is determined to save herself and her younger sister Sam Sam from the threat of female genital mutilation.

“An important, unsensational, beautifully written story that deserves to be read. The issue is dealt with head-on but the lack of explicit description of the act of FGM itself makes it just suitable for 12 plus. A good focus for teachers and students debating the issue in secondary schools.” Alex O’Connell, The Times

Emma Craigie is a writer and teacher. She lives in Somerset and is currently Chair of Wells Festival of Literature. She also wrote the best selling book Chocolate Cake with Hitler.
