Thursday 12th April, we gathered to discuss the book Men, Countries and Gods by Homa Zaklaki, the pseudonym for Dr Roghieh and Leila Dehghan.
Leila and Roghieh took us through the reasons for writing their book and how much the story of Solmaz, the main character in the book paralleled their lives and experiences.
The evening also covered the many topics from the book, as we discussed a variety of notions from identity, gender, feminism, love, memories, land, cultural appropriation, what connects people together, the links between East and West and spirituality.
A wonderful evening, and we look forward to seeing you all at the next book and talk!
