Deepa Anappara - Part of Derby Book Festival
Book talk with Deepa Anaparra as part of Derby Book Festival. Her new novel is The Last of Earth.
- Booking essential
The Last of Earth is set in Tibet in 1869, when the Forbidden Kingdom was closed to foreigners and Britain began training Indians – permitted to cross borders that white men may not – to undertake illicit, perilous expeditions within Tibet. The story involves Balram, a surveyor-spy, and Katherine, an unlikely explorer who has a plan to become the first European woman to reach Lhasa and the legendary Potala Palace.
