SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Society of Literary Marauders
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join a secret society! The Society of Literary Marauders is an intriguing new book about four young women who form a secret society to read the books they’re not supposed to read. \nCome and join author Sasha Wasley (Spring Clean for the Peach Queen\, Dear Banjo\, Snapshots from Home) to hear about the fascinating inspiration behind this addictive new book. Enjoy treats and prizes to celebrate the release of Sasha’s first adult title since 2023. \nSasha will be in-conversation with popular podcaster\, Amanda Kendle (The Thoughtful Travel Podcast). \nAbout the book:\nAt Oxford University\, 1928\, four young women make a secret pledge: I hereby undertake to take and read any book kept away from nice young ladies.\nThey’ve come from unlikely corners of the British Empire: brickworker’s daughter Annie\, wealthy flapper Ridley\, refined Parsi aristocrat Dorelia and disheartened schoolteacher Norma. They call themselves the Society of Literary Marauders and the price of entry is having stolen a book.\nTheir illicit meetings rapidly become a lifeline in a world where knowledge is power\, and women are fed lies and half-truths. They start with small misdemeanours – getting their hands on banned books\, stealing back historical records claimed by the men’s colleges. But over time\, they become aware of a true literary injustice – and they slowly formulate a plan to put this historical wrong to right …\nFull of intrigue\, literary drama and the joy of rebellious female friendships\, this stunning novel is an unputdownable joy from first page to last. \nAbout the author:\nBestselling author Sasha Wasley was born and raised in Boorloo (Perth)\, Western Australia. She holds a PhD in feminist literature and loves nature\, Jane Austen and puns. \nBook this event
