UNIVERSITY of York lecturer Dr Juliana Mensah has published her first novel, Castles from Cobwebs, the winning entry in the NorthBound Book Award 2019. Dr Mensah, a lecturer in the Department of English and Related Literature, is a writer of prose and theatre. Her plays have focused on human rights narratives and testimonies of survivors. Her debut novel, Castles from Cobwebs, won the inaugural NorthBound Book Award, part of the Northern Writers’ Award, which is open to writers based in the North of England with an unpublished full-length manuscript for a fiction or narrative non-fiction book. Her award-winning entry, now published, tells the story of Imani, a foundling who is rescued as a baby and raised by nuns on a remote Northumbrian island, growing up with an ever-increasing feeling of displacement.
