Book presentation of "The Dust Never Settles", by Karina Lickorish Quinn
Oneworld Publications
Karina Lickorish Quinn will be the guest author in this conversation on literature in the impressive setting of the Leeds Central Library. Karina will discuss her first novel, The Dust Never Settles (Oneworld Publications, 2021), with Sarah Tyson, founder of Books Up North, mission it is to bring outstanding literary events to the north of the UK.
The Dust Never Settles sweeps from the bustling beaches and teeming salsa halls of contemporary Lima to the rise and fall of the Inca empire; from vengeful Andean gods to fishermen crammed into local ceviche bars and a civil war that will devastate the nation.
Join us for an evening of literary conversation and enjoy a drink on arrival as part of the ticket price.
