Booker Prize winner Bernardine Evaristo OBE FRSL FRSA is the featured guest on “A Palace for The People”, a podcast unearthing pieces of Nairobi’s history that support and feed the restoration process of the McMillan Memorial Library and its branches in Makadara and Kaloleni. This recording session shall be hosted by the Founders of Book Bunk; Angela Wachuka and Wanjiru Koinange before a live festival audience.
