Interview - Leila Aboulela & Alessandro Gallenzi (2015)
Two brilliant international writers, Sudan's Leila Aboulela and Italy's Alessandro Gallenzi, chatted to us about their new books before their joint event in Charlotte Square Gardens. After their event we asked some audience members what they thought. You can see Leila and Alessandro's hour-long event here on our website and on edbookfest's youtube channel, filmed live as part of Trading Stories at the 2015 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
