Drill Hall Library hosts a Reading with Roopa Farooki on Thursday 18th December at 1-2pm at the Group Mezzanine in the Drill Hall Library.
Meet Roopa Farooki the author and Royal Literary Fund Fellow for University of Kent Student Learning Advisory Services reading and signing copies of her latest (6th) novel The Good Children (published in June 2014).
“THE GOOD CHILDREN is a compelling story of discipline and disobedience, punishment and the pursuit of passion, following the children of a game-changing generation and the ties that bind them across cultures, continents and decades. Painful and sweet, tough and surprising, it is a landmark epic of the South Asian immigrant experience.” (Headline Publishing 2014)
