Join author of the bestselling The Imperfectionists Tom Rachman for a reading from his much anticipated follow up,The Rise and Fall of Great Powers, in which a lonely and disaffected bookshop owner in Wales resassesses her turbulent and long-repressed childhood. Ranging in space in time from the back alleys of 1980s Bangkok, to 90s Manhattan, to the present, Rachman's clever and compelling novel shows us that the problem with leaving home is that home too often follows.
