Samira Sedira is a French-Algerian novelist, playwright, and actress (both theatre and film).
She studied at l’École de la Comédie de Saint-Etienne and now lives in the Paris region.
Her latest novel “Des gens comme eux" (People like them): Bloomsbury Raven Books, was translated into English in July 2021.
Like many actors and actresses, when work was scarce, she had to support herself by cleaning other people's houses, this experience has given her an uncompromising and direct experience of life which informs her work.
Samira will take as a starting point, her most recent novel, Des gens comme eux, 2020 translated into English “People like them” which was published by Bloomsbury Raven Books in the U.K. and Random House, Penguin Books in the U.S.A.
Your Moderator for the evening is the Head of Library at the Institut Français, Catherine Guiat, who will be asking leading questions, which Samira will elaborate upon.
Catherine is a member of the FSS (Edinburgh Branch) and a native French speaker, she is also very familiar with the author's work.
It promises to be a wonderful evening.
