The singer Annie Lennox praised The Book of Forgiving for its “groundbreaking insights as to how we resolve our lifelong burdens”. Mpho Tutu van Furth who co-authored the book with her father, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, is no stranger to heavy loads: her father was a leading opponent of apartheid in South Africa, and she herself was forced to relinquish the Anglican priesthood over her same-sex marriage. Tutu van Furth has also co-authored a biography of her father, Tutu, and the book Made for Goodness: And Why This Makes All the Difference. She discusses her life and the place of forgiveness with Marianne Elliott. AUCKLAND WRITERS FESTIVAL 2017
