We'll start off 2026 with another favourite LitKal presenter, acclaimed writer, critic, and storyteller Aritha van Herk !
Join us on Wednesday, January 21 for a tour through Elif Shafak’s bold new novel The Island of Missing Trees. This ambitious, multilayered story explores love, memory, and belonging across generations, set against the divided island of Cyprus where history and nature intertwine.
Come ready to read deeper, think bigger, and engage in lively conversation with fellow book lovers.
Coffee, tea and water will be provided.
