Looking forward to sharing my thoughts on this wonderful book with my Toronto book clubs this season. Congratulations V.V. Ganeshananthan, and please let us know if you plan to visit Toronto this year!!!

Brotherless Night is out in the UK today! I cut my heart out for this book. I hope you’ll pick it up, request it at libraries, bring it into classrooms, and share it with your families & friends. Unending thanks to Stephanie Cabot Susanna Lea Associates - NY Isabel Wall Viking Books & many more. I’m so grateful for all the support.
