11. Women Interrupted

A royal mistress to Louis XV and the wife of Siddhartha Gautama – who will later become the Buddha – learns hard lessons about the reality of living in the dark shadow of rich and powerful men. In times and places where falling out of favour threatens one’s entire mode of life, it takes strength and intellect to forge one’s own path. Join award-winning authors Shyam Selvadurai (Mansions of the Moon) and Eva Stachniak (The School of Mirrors) for an immersive journey across history. 

Coffee event – admission includes coffee, tea, and baked goods.

Thank you to our Author Patrons for their support! Eva is sponsored by Kimberly Falk, Shyam is sponsored by Sharon Hamilton.
