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.

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.
