KEY INFORMATION
Thursday 21st November, 7pm - 10pm

The London Library, 14 St James's Square, London, SW1Y 4LG
               
Join us for a star-studded literary evening at the London Library hosted by actor and comedian Miles Jupp and featuring readings by distinguished writers and poets including Julian Barnes, Victoria Hislop, Brian Bilston and Margaret Busby alongside survivors of torture.

Finding the Words celebrates the strength and resilience so often required when we try to express ourselves. For torture survivors and refugees in the UK, it is often a struggle to find the words to explain their journey and the trauma they have experienced. The readings will highlight life changes, hope, grief and new beginnings.

Enjoy the opportunity to mingle with leading lights from the literary world at our drinks reception. Fine wines from Farr Vintners will flow throughout the evening alongside light refreshments.

All funds raised on the night will go directly to supporting survivors of torture in the UK.


Literary Festival committee: Tracy Chevalier, Alan Lloyd, Gill Paul, Alan Hollinghurst, Patrick Janson-Smith, Beverly Ivey.
