Launching Strength in Petticoats

Strength in Petticoats is a superb and distinctive debut novel by Dawn Hart — asking

What lengths will we go to for love?

And how might this love show up?

Strong-willed Lillibet, a Bolivian cholita wrestler, is enthralled by Emilio and Emiliano—twins in appearance only. They share success and acclaim in the wrestling world, but their complex relationship sets them on a path towards tragedy.

Last Friday saw a packed launch at Backstory Bookshop in Balham with every copy in the shop sold out and a wonderful, celebratory evening, as the pictures show.

 

Congratulations to Dawn on a great launch and you can get your copy here or order it from your local indie bookshop.
