Our book club chat with Farzana Doctor via teleconference went off without a hitch! Farzana was wonderfully articulate and we were just so thrilled to have her join us from afar. It was a treat to have her answer our questions about her writing process. We were fascinated to hear how Stealing Nasreen 's story evolved over time and that she felt like the characters led the story. We were also really happy to hear that Farzana is working on her next book! Our discussion continued on after we hung up the phone. There was a lot to say, given the richness of the book. And I personally was intrigued that different readers connected with different characters to the point that they felt like that one character was the main character. Looking forward to Slammerkin ! Speaking of which, here's an interview with Emma Donoghue.
