Aria Aber - Good Girl
Sat, Nov 8 at 3pm
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR FICTION
Aria Aber joins us to discuss her novel Good Girl. This powerful debut plunges the reader into a raging battle between a young Afghan woman’s cultural identity and desire for freedom. Good Girl describes Nila’s attempt to leave behind the legacy of her immigrant parents by reinventing herself within Berlin’s artistic community. “This is an emotive, psychedelic novel whose writing is both poetic and politically powerful” (Diana Evans, Women’s Prize judge).
Aria Aber was born and raised in Germany and now lives in the United States. She has also published an award-winning poetry collection.
