Born in Scotland, writer Aminatta Forna has been travelling the globe since she was six months old, when her family moved to Sierra Leone for her father’s job as a physician.
Forna’s ongoing love of exploration has been captured in her new book, The Window Seat: Notes From A Life In Motion, a collection of thought-provoking essays that traverse a range of subjects including displacement, identity, memory, and how we encroach on the non-human world.
