Melba Escobar in conversation with Ana María Aponte

Cartagena 2025, 

At its book clubs, Hay Festival Cartagena offers intimate encounters with a selection of festival guests. These are spaces to talk in greater depth about recent work by some of the festival’s participants. At this event, Melba Escobar (Colombia) will talk to Ana María Aponte about her book Las huérfanas, a novel that delves into the family past, origins, the creation of a female identity, and the place of the dead, who never die in the minds of the living.

Those attending must have read the book
