In this fourth interview for @BBCTwo and shown during the 2020 Booker Prize winner ceremony, @MaazaMengiste discusses what she wanted to achieve with her #2020BookerPrize shortlisted novel, The Shadow King: ‘I wanted to write about women in war… I wanted to write history from the perspective of those voices that are often ignored, even within their own communities because they’re too poor or they’re not from the right family.’ @canongatebooks #FinestFiction #TheBookerPrizes #MaazaMengiste #TheShadowKing #bookstagram #instabooks #amreading #igreads #author #fiction
