The launch for May We Borrow Your Country took place on the 26th of January, 2019 at Waterstones, Gower Street.
Preti Taneja, winner of the Desmond Elliot Prize, 2018, who has written the foreword for the book, introduced The Whole Kahani. Contributors read brief excerpts from the book and publisher Lynn Michell of Linen Press described what attracted her to the anthology. This was followed by a short panel discussion on the representation of minority voices in literature, after which we opened to Q&A from the audience, and book signing.
It was a truly lively evening with wine and samosas!
