On August 5th, the Embassy of Suriname hosted a literary lecture with Surinamese writer Cynthia McLeod, author of the famous work “The Cost of Sugar” (Quão caro foi o açúcar?), the first Surinamese book to be translated into Portuguese.
The event took place at the Surinamese Embassy and guests were welcomed by the Ambassador of Suriname to Brazil, Ms. Angeladebie Roshni Annie Ramkisoen. Foreign ambassadors, diplomats, journalists, academics, and prominent figures from Brasilia’s society were at the event.
