Join The City of Good Death author Priyanka Champaneri in conversation with Lisa Carey at Longfellow Books on April 22.

Priyanka’s transcendent debut, winner of the Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing, immerses us in India’s holy city of Banaras, where pilgrims go to die a good death and be released from the cycle of reincarnation. The City of Good Death is “a breathtaking, unforgettable novel” (Foreword Reviews, Starred Review), “exquisite” (Booklist), and “epic, magical” (Publishers Weekly). Lisa Carey is the author of The Stolen Child.
