Tony Peake: North Facing (In Conversation with Judith Krummeck)
Join us at Bird in Hand, our sibling shop, for a very special evening with author Tony Peake, in town from the UK to celebrate his new novel, North Facing! The beloved local writer Judith Krummeck will join Peake in conversation.
A novel of awakening and atonement, North Facing is an exquisitely realised story that revisits a seminal boyhood moment as it plays out -- with unexpected and sinister consequences -- against the backdrop of political upheaval in South Africa.
