Oxplore Book Club: With the author Kiran Millwood Hargrave

Join us online from 4pm on Thursday the 25th of May as we chat to Kiran Millwood Hargrave about her book, The Girl of Ink & Stars.

We're delighted that the best-selling author, Kiran Millwood Hargrave, will be joining us for Oxplore Book Club in May.

The Girl of Ink & Stars was Kiran's debut novel, and the striking fantasy tale about a mapmaker's daughter on a quest to save her island, captured reader's imaginations and won heaps of awards. We hope you love this book as much as we do!

During the event, Kiran will be talking about the inspiration behind The Girl of Ink & Stars. There will also be an extended Q&A, which will be your opportunity to share your thoughts on the book and learn more about the characters, themes and process of writing.
