About this Event

In this award-winning memoir, Matar returns to his native Libya after 30 years in exile, searching for the truth behind the disappearance of his father, a political dissident under the Qaddafi regime. Part travelogue, part political history, part family portrait, and part exploration of grief, this intense and lyrical book is ultimately a testament to human resilience.

N.B. Please ensure that you have read the book BEFORE coming on the walk - or it risks spoiling the event for other walkers. If you've don't quite have time to read the book, please consider instead joining the Monday evening Zoom, for which reading the book isn't a prerequisite.
