Square Books -- Author Events

Michel Faber reads from The Crimson Petal and the White. A major new work from this rising literary star, author of Some Rain Must Fall and Under the Skin. Originally from Australia yet residing in Scotland, Faber wrote this epic Victorian novel over the course of some 20 years, determined to write a novel as carefully constructed as George Eliot's Middlemarch. The result is this epic, Dickensian tale of Victorian England -- from whores to high society -- that will surely be one of the fall's most fascinating books.
