Libby Reads with Ben Hobson - Learned Behaviours by Zeynab Gamieldien

Ben Hobson will host an interactive discussion with Zeynab Gamieldien about her latest book and we invite you to join in the conversation!

As a prospective barrister, Zaid Saban is on the cusp of achieving everything he has dreamed of. His social and professional world is far removed from his schoolyard days in the suburbs of western Sydney, even more far removed from the traumatic events of his final year of school in which best friend, Hass, was arrested for murder.

Zaid thinks he has put all this behind him. But when Hass’s sister, Amira, finds him and asks him to read her brother’s diary, Zaid is pulled back to the very world he had left behind. Is it possible that Hass was innocent? As Amira and Zaid seek to solve the mystery of what happened all those years ago, Zaid is forced to confront the ugliness of the past and what it means for who he is today.

📚The book is available for simultaneous access for the month of June 📚

📍Tuesday 23 June at 7:30 pm | Online
