Visit organiser website(this link will open in a new window)Aasmah Mir has written a fascinating memoir which chronicles both her own upbringing in Scotland and her mother's very different experiences as a Pakistani bride who followed her new husband to Scotland. Aasmah, who suffered from crushing shyness at one point in her life, is now a host with Times Radio and spent some years co-hosting the Saturday Live Show with the Rev Richard Coles.
Her book started life as A Pebble In The Throat, but the paperback is simply titled Glasgow Girl.
Aasmah will be chaired by book festival committee regular Ruth Wishart who also edits the local Pen Mag in addition to writing two regular weekly columns.
This event is supported by Book Week Scotland 2024 event funding.
