At the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2019 Arundhati Roy discusses her works and her astonishing experiences with Scotland’s First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon.

In a stunning new book of essays, we have the definitive answer. My Seditious Heart is much more than a series of illuminating observations on justice, rights and freedoms: it’s a memoir of the Indian author’s life – as a writer and as a citizen.
