Event information
M J Walsh’s gripping new novel, Living in the Subjunctive, immerses readers in a poignant recounting of the experiences of a group of Chileans forced to flee their homeland during the turmoil of the 1973 military coup.
Set against the backdrops of Chile and Bristol, this novel encourages readers to reflect on how we reconcile our pasts with our present, and what it truly means to belong.
Taking readers back to the Pinochet coup in Chile in 1973 the book shares the ramifications of fleeing your home due to political conflict and having to embrace the culture, customs and community of a new country. Insightfully sharing the deeper impacts of political exile, this narrative steps up a gear when the protagonists have a chance to return to their much-missed Chile.
A powerful tale that lingers long after the final page, Living in the Subjunctive makes a perfect read for fans of recent historical fiction and compelling mysteries with its layered narrative and poignant themes.
