Full description:
What is a book concert?
An evening where a novel comes alive through the author's voice and the music of its world. I'll be reading from What the Pauper Did, accompanied by period-appropriate music of 18th-century Lisbon — the atmosphere of the age wrapped around the story.
About the book
Lisbon, 1770. Herculano wakes up in a strange body in an unfamiliar house. All he wants is to know who he is. So why is he chasing after a missing man? And what does this have to do with the prince and a power struggle for the kingdom?
The man Odete loves no longer returns her feelings. Meanwhile, a man she distrusts has appeared at court. When Odete discovers Herculano shares her mission, will she ignore her suspicions and join forces?
How do you define your identity? Is it in your memories, your appearance or your soul? A mystery romance set in an alternate historic Lisbon.
The Salon
After the reading, we'll gather for a salon discussion in the finest 18th-century tradition. What does it mean to be you? What makes a person a person — memories, body, or soul? The themes of What the Pauper Did are yours to debate, disagree over and puzzle through, plus a Q&A where you can ask the author anything.
