Details
Join us for an evening reading and signing with Marina Cantacuzino, founder of the Forgiveness Project, sharing Forgiveness: An Exploration. Using real stories, expert opinion, politics, psychology and the author’s own insights, Marina's book explores the messy, complex and gripping subject of forgiveness.
About the Book:
Marina Cantacuzino seeks to investigate, unpick and debate the limits and possibilities of forgiveness, exploring the subject from every angle – presenting it as an offering, never a prescription.
Through real stories, expert opinion and the author’s experiences, the reader gets to better understand what forgiveness is and what it most definitely isn’t, how it can be an important element in breaking the cycle of suffering, and ultimately how it might help transform fractured relationships and mend broken hearts.
Forgiveness is a blueprint for how to live a more harmonious, richer life.
About the Author:
With a journalism background, Marina Cantacuzino's work has appeared in most mainstream publications in the UK, plus many magazines abroad. Having co-authored several books on subjects close to her heart, from HIV to disability.
In 2003, in response to escalating global conflict, Marina embarked on a very personal project collecting stories in words and pictures from people who had lived through violence, tragedy, or injustice and sought forgiveness or reconciliation rather than retaliation or revenge. From this, she created "The F Word" exhibition: a collection of images and personal narratives from around the world exploring forgiveness and understanding in the face of atrocity. The success of the exhibition, which launched in London in 2004, led to Marina founding The Forgiveness Project. Since founding The Forgiveness Project she has co-created The Forgiveness Toolbox, produced and hosted The F Word Podcast and in 2024 her second radio series Forgiveness: Stories from the Frontline was broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
