Johnsonville Library at Waitohi Hub
Khadro Mohamed burst onto the literary scene with her exceptional collection of poetry We’re All Made of Lightning which quickly gained rave reviews and went on to win the Jessie Mackay Prize for the best first book of poetry at the 2023 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.
Her much anticipated first novel Before the Winter Ends is now here, and we're thrilled to host Khadro at Waitohi Library in conversation with fellow author Tara Leckie to talk about the book, celebrate its launch, and answer some questions about its creation.
Before the Winter Ends is a deep and poignant work that spans Somalia, Egypt and Aotearoa New Zealand. It explores a mother-son relationship and is a stark portrayal of how past grief can shape a family. The book is destined to become a must-read title and is one of the most vital fiction releases of this year.
Can’t make it along to Waitohi? Khadro will also be taking part in one of our “Wadestown conversations” series of events, on Thursday 26th of June.
