The Extraordinary Florence Stoker by Karen Brooks

Join Petrarch's Bookshop at Launceston Library as we launch The Extraordinary Florence Stoker by Karen Brooks, a new novel from the bestselling author of The Good Wife of Bath tells the real story of a woman history maligned.

From a bestselling, award-winning author comes a compellingly realised story of an enigmatic figure, the beautiful 19th century muse and brilliant social powerhouse, Florence Stoker, whose life, in spite of her many gifts, was overshadowed by one of the most abiding and terrifying of contemporary culture's monsters, the vampire Dracula - her own husband's creation.

But Florence will fight for her family and rid herself of the threats - both real and phantom - that plague her, even if it threatens her own sanity.

After all, no ordinary monster can confound the extraordinary Florence Stoker.

All welcome. Ticket provides general admission to the talk.
