Ever Since We Small | Lincoln Central Library x Waterstones Lincoln

“I simply fell in love with Jayanti who to my mind is a true feminist and who totally sets the tone for this allegorical, whilst at the same time realistic work on the lives of many indentured labourers.”

Yvonne Bailey-Smith, author of The Day I Fell Off My Island

A Lincoln Library afternoon with Celeste Mohammed and her second novel-in-stories Ever Since We Small, in collaboration with Lincoln Central Library and Waterstones Lincoln.

The award-winning author will be in conversation with Professor Claudia Capancioni to discuss craft, narrative and historic documentation in fiction as an Indo-Trinidadian writer.

As a key figure in the Research & Knowledge Exchange Unit, ‘Voicing the Past: ‘Culture, Legacy, and Narrative’, Professor Capancioni is the perfect voice to lead the audience in a relaxed and conversational interrogation of Mohammed’s Ever Since We Small.

Books will be sold by Waterstones Lincoln with a book signing to follow the conversation and a chance to meet the Trinidad-based award-winning author in person.
