Diana Rojas, author of THEY HOLD GRUDGES, in conversation with Abby Higgs

About this event

Picture this: it’s October. The sun’s setting in the gardens behind the Ivy Bookshop. We’re talking about a new, heart-pumping psychological drama. Let’s make it happen. On October 9th, we’ll gather out in the gardens with author Diana Rojas, to discuss her new novel They Hold Grudges, a story of family, loyalty and the weight of suspicion. She’ll talk about these swirling forces of gossip and paranoia, truth and peace, in conversation with Abby Higgs– and all of us. RSVP here! Order THEY HOLD GRUDGES here!
