Catch up with Eleni Kyriacou on The Shift Bookclub Live
Murder, misogyny, mental illness and the immigrant experience, it's all here in The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou
Just a quick one to let you know that Thursday night’s The Shift Bookclub Live with Eleni Kyriacou, author of The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou, is now live for you to catch up on YouTube.
Thank you to everyone who read it and came along last night. Every month gets more lively and engaged, I love it.
We had a fascinating conversation about the shocking true story behind the book, the immigrant experience from the 1950s to now, the judgements we make based on appearance and language and what makes one person a “good” victim and another one not. We also discussed separating fact from fiction, the ethics of writing about real people (and what happened when Eleni met the real Zina’s grandson), liking so-called unlikable characters, and loads more.
