Nadifa Mohamed: For Whom is Justice Served?
Can the truth save those who have been condemned for something other than a crime? Shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2021, The Fortune Men takes us to Cardiff ’s multicultural Tiger Bay in 1952, where Mahmood Mattan is accused of murder. He feels secure in his innocence – but can he trust the system? Join Nadifa Mohamed, one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists, for an hour of insight and empathy chaired by Jess Brough.
