Ada’s Realm, the remarkable new novel by the prizewinning British German author Sharon Dodua Otoo, appeared in German (Adas Raum) in 2021, and will be published in English in 2023.

“All beings – past, present and future – are in connection with each other; we always have been and always will be”, the mysterious shapeshifting narrator of Ada’s Realm tells the reader; Ada herself lives four lives over five centuries in different bodies, in Africa and Europe.

Ada’s Realm has been called a “literary adventure” and admired for the “glittering richness” of its language. This is your chance to get an exciting preview of the novel’s English-language version, and to hear the literary specialist Maryam Aras in conversation with its author, Sharon Dodua Otoo.
