The Private Joys of Nnenna Maloney with author Okechukwu Nzelu

Tue, October 13, 2020 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Okechukwu Nzelu brings us a funny and heart-warming story that covers the expanse of race, gender, class, family and redemption, with a fresh and distinctive new voice.

As Nnenna Maloney approaches womanhood she longs to connect with her Igbo-Nigerian culture. Her once close and tender relationship with her mother, Joanie, becomes strained as Nnenna begins to ask probing questions about her father, who Joanie refuses to discuss.

Join Okechukwu to discuss one of the most talked about books of the year. Talk organised with Friends of Carnegie Library.

Details of online platform access will be sent out two days before the event.
