Hastings Library
Wednesday 23 October
7 to 8pm
We are excited to be hosting Jyoti Patel at Hastings Library this autumn.
Jyoti is a previous winner of the #Merky Book New Writer of the Year award for her debut novel, The Things That We Lost. The competition aims to discover unpublished, underrepresented writers from across the United Kingdom and Ireland and includes among their judges, Stormzy.
The novel is a beautifully written tale told from the perspectives of 18-year-old Nik and his British Indian mother, Avani, alternating between the past and present as Nik searches for answers about his father’s death.
Join us on 23 October as Jyoti, named by The Observer as one of the best new novelists of 2023, as she talks about her acclaimed debut title and her journey to becoming an author.
