Event Description
Spend an evening with Asher Emanuel, whose book The Valley - Crime and Punishment in a New Zealand City is making waves around the country.
The book follows three Hutt Valley men through courtrooms, prison, hospital, rehab, boarding houses and welfare offices. Their up-close and personal account brings the realities of the New Zealand criminal justice system to life through the voices of those who experience it first-hand.
Join the author in a discussion with novelist, freelance writer and Wellington based lawyer Brannavan Gnanalingam.
