THIS EVENT IS FREE BUT PLEASE REGISTER
The publisher Headline showcases three of its most exciting debuts for 2022 - all very different but all written with immense skill. Melissa Fu's Peach Blossom Spring tells a powerfully moving and beautifully nuanced tale of loss, hope and belonging that opens a window into the history of modern China through one family’s story. Sabrina Mahfouz's These Bodies of Water investigates history through the Middle Eastern coastlines and waterways that were so vital to the British Empire's hold on that part of the world, and Moses Mackenzie's novel An Olive Grove in Ends explores the life of a young black man from Bristol, and which has been chosen as one of the Observer's 10 must-read debut novelists of 2022.
