Adhaf Soueif
We talk to authors at the Hay Festival of Literature, looking at what drives their work and at their literary life story.
George Alagiah meets renowned writer and political commentator Adhaf Soueif at the Hay Festival of Literature and the Arts. Her latest book, This is Not a Border: Reportage and Reflection from the Palestine Festival of Literature, is an anthology celebrating the 10th anniversary of her own extraordinary literary festival. Her non-fiction also includes Cairo: A City Transformed, a passionate and gripping account of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, which she experienced first-hand. In 1999 Adhaf Soueif became the first Muslim woman to be nominated for the Booker Prize for her novel The Map of Love.
