Noel Alumit @ LA Times Festival of Books
April 26 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT
Defining Moments: Novels About Identity, Desire, and the Turning Points in Our Lives – Tickets Required
One moment can change everything in a person’s life—but more often, these big moments are comprised of many choices that seemed much smaller as they were happening one by one. Two of these propulsive, smart novels follow lives abruptly changed and forever redirected, while the third plays out more like a slow burn, exploring the ramifications of choice and secrets over decades, familial generations, and international borders.
