Liv Little talks talks to Emma Dabiri

Debut Discoveries: Rosewater

Hay Festival 2023, 

Elsie is a sexy, funny and fiercely independent woman in South London, but she is a very tired 28-year-old. Estranged from her family, struggling with being continually rejected from jobs and scared of never making money doing what she loves, Elsie begins sleeping with co-worker Bea, and discovers it’s just another place for her to hide. As she tries to reconnect with her best friend Juliet, Elsie’s fragile world spirals out of control. Liv Little, the founder and former CEO of the award-winning publication gal-dem, talks to author, academic and broadcaster Emma Dabiri about her gritty and strikingly bold novel.
