For our last FOLD reading challenge, we end the year as we began, with the belief in literature’s ability to build bridges, foster empathy, and spark crucial conversations. This month, see my recommendations for books by Congolese and Sudanese authors.
For the last reading challenge of 2024, we're reading books by Congolese and/or Sudanese authors, and we have a total of 8 books to recommend. Visit TheFoldCanada.org/ReadingCha… for the full list.
