Join author and artist Miriam Gold as she talks about her graphic memoir, Elena: A Hand Made Life.

The book tells the story of Miriam's grandmother, Dr Elena Zadik, who fled Europe as a teenager and went on to build a life in Sheffield. Through artwork, family stories and historical research, Miriam brings Elena's remarkable journey to life as a doctor during the Second World War, overcoming challenges with courage, determination and humour.

Miriam will discuss the lives behind the book, and the process of turning family history into a unique graphic novel. There will also be a chance to ask questions.

If you enjoy comics, history, memoir and local stories, this is a great chance to hear from one of the UK's most exciting graphic memoir creators.

Suitable for ages 17+

Juno Books will be selling copies of Miriam's book for signing at the event.
