Chimamanda Adichie at Middlesex University Dubai 6

As part of the inaugural EAIFL Education Day, a group of fifty students and lecturers from Middlesex University Dubai enjoyed a highly entertaining interactive session with award-winning Chimamanda Adichie. Mariam Maude, a final year Communications & Media Studies student, gave an informed introduction to the visiting author. This Orange prize-winner engaged her audience with stories of her own journey as a writer from Medical student to an internationally recognized name. She spoke of what inspires her to write, the process of writing and explored several aspects of her two novels: Purple Hibiscus and Half of a Yellow Sun.

The audience was intrigued and enthralled by her responses to their questions and enjoyed the opportunity to speak in person while having their books signed.
