Emma Donoghue, the “soul-stirring” (Oprah Daily) nationally bestselling author of Room, returns with a sweeping historical novel about an infamous 1895 disaster at the Paris Montparnasse train station. Join us at Book Passage or virtually for an author event in celebration of Emma Donoghue's new book The Paris Express! Emma will be joined in-conversation with Carol Edgarian, author of Vera.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
The Dublin-born, Ontario-based author of 16 novels including “The Room”, Emma Donoghue visits Book Passage to discuss her latest novel “The Paris Express.” Based on an 1895 train disaster infamously captured in a series of surreal photographs, and set on a train, the novel is propulsive, with a fascinating, far-ranging cast of characters that evoke the politics, chaos and speed of the end of the 19th century. In conversation with Carol Edgarian.
