Join bestselling author Lea Ypi as she talks about her new book, Indignity : A Life Reimagined.
When a photograph of her grandmother resurfaces online, Lea Ypi sets out to uncover the truth behind Leman’s life – a quest to fill in the blanks of a fractured past and restore a dignity the many folds of history nearly buried. In a journey that takes her from Salonica to the Albanian Secret Police Archives via Italy, Lea ultimately finds refuge in the power of storytelling, piecing together snippets of her grandmother’s life in a Europe in the midst of great political upheaval.
The questions she comes across in her journey are universal and they uncover something about the times we live in today. How can one reverse historical injustices to render the people closest to us as fully fledged individuals? And with what moral authority do we judge the past?
Indignity is an imaginative investigation into dignity and historical injustice through the story of a family from the fall of the Ottoman Empire to the dawn of Communism in the Balkans.
Tickets: Admission - £10 / Admission + copy of Indignity (RRP £22) - £27

Struggling to build healthy family eating habits? Join Dr Clare Bailey Mosley and child psychiatrist Professor Stephen Scott as they share simple, proven ways to transform family mealtimes. Discover quick, healthy recipes, clear boundaries and how shared meals can strengthen bonds with your children, improve behaviour, and bring real connection to even the busiest of households. Because it’s not just what we eat, but how we eat that matters.
Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, her husband Dr Michael Mosley and their four children always shared family meals around their kitchen table. However hectic life became, sitting down to eat together was a priority which, Clare believes, helped to hold their busy family together.
“Eating Together is the book I was writing before the sudden loss of my husband, Michael. Completing it became a source of strength and purpose in the months that followed. I hope it helps families to eat well but, more than that, I hope it encourages families to come together and appreciate one another.”
Clare wrote Eating Together with the help of Stephen Scott, Professor of Child Health and Behaviours at Kings College London and a leading expert in parenting. The book is grounded in science, offering parents practical advice on building better family habits. Stephen is a local author and we’re delighted to be supporting the publication of his new book.
“A great book with an incredibly important message. Essential for every family balancing time, money and health.” Chris Van Tulleken
