Fighting the Good Fight with C.L. Clark and R.F. Kuang

This event starts with a Brave New Words reading from M.E. Rodman

Caught between morale, politics and love, how can you be sure what to fight for?

In C.L. Clark’s The Unbroken, two women clash in a world full of rebellion and espionage and are caught between colonialism and revolution in a story rife with familial, political and romantic tension.

The Burning God, the exciting final volume in R.F. Kuang’s The Poppy War trilogy, combines the history of 20th-century China with a gripping world of gods and monsters, to devastating, enthralling effect.
