About An Evening with V.E. Schwab

From the No. 1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue comes a new, genre-defying, unforgettable novel to sink your teeth into!

PLEASE NOTE: Books ordered as part of the 'Book & In-person Audience' option will be available to collect on the night of the event and will be stamped with a special 'June 2025 tour' embosser. If you would prefer to collect an unstamped copy of the book from the bookshop between publication date (Thursday 10th June) and the event date (Monday 30th June), please send a message via The Portobello Bookshop's contact form and they will be happy to help. Please note that books collected before the event cannot be embossed on the night.

About Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil:

Santo Domingo de la Calzada, 1532.
London, 1837.
Boston, 2019.
Three young women, their bodies planted in the same soil, their stories tangling like roots.
One grows high and one grows deep and one grows wild.
And all of them grow teeth.
