Alina Bronsky has been celebrated as a literary prodigy and her debut novel,
Broken Glass Park, as an explosive debut. It is the story of a young woman consumed by two dreams: to write a novel about her mother and to murder the man who took her life. Alina will be on tour this April and early May, visiting Chicago, Boston, New York, Washington DC, and Atlanta. Details below.
