María Dueñas in conversation with Ana Gavín and readers from Polígono Sur in Seville

People's destinies are not only shaped by their human relationships. Geography has a profound impact on lives that would have developed differently under other circumstances. This is especially true in the case of exile forced by poverty, which compels people to reinvent themselves and forge a new path, as pointed out by the Reading and Writing Club of the Entre Amigos Association of Polígono Sur in Seville, which works tirelessly to facilitate social progress through reading. This club, made up of women, has been meeting every week for 10 years and uses reading as a form of personal growth.

As part of this process, its members have chosen to talk to María Dueñas at Hay Festival Forum Seville. They will discuss her latest novel, Por si un día volvemos ('In Case We Return One Day'), in which she skilfully narrates these lives that are changed by social constraints. Dueñas will talk to Ana Gavín, director of Editorial Relations at Grupo Planeta, and with the members of the reading club and users of the Municipal Centre.

Subsequently, the members of this book club will have the opportunity to twin with other book clubs in Segovia, where they will travel in September to continue their journey of personal development through reading.
