When the World Sleeps by Francesca Albanese

📚 Book Club Invitation: When the World Sleeps: Stories, Words, and Wounds of Palestine by Francesca Albanese

For our next meeting, we’ll be discussing When the World Sleeps, a powerful and deeply human exploration of life under occupation, the role of language in shaping reality, and the personal stories often hidden behind headlines.

Drawing on years of experience as a human rights expert and observer of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Francesca Albanese examines how narratives are formed, whose voices are heard, and what happens when suffering becomes invisible to much of the world.

The book raises important questions about justice, memory, identity, international responsibility, and the power of words to both reveal and obscure reality.

Whether you agree with the author’s perspective or not, the book offers an opportunity for thoughtful discussion about conflict, human rights, media narratives, and the human experiences behind political events.

📅 Date: Saturday, 4 July
⏰ Time: 11:30
📍 Venue: Carpe Diem, Avenue de Tervuren 13, 1040 Brussels

Expect an open, respectful, and engaging discussion in a relaxed setting, with good coffee and good company.

As always, you’re welcome whether you’ve finished the book, started reading it, or simply want to join the conversation.

Those who wish can stay for lunch afterwards.
