Cinema News: Don’t miss book club with bestselling author Reyna Grande

Don't miss a virtual discussion with
Reyna Grande, author of A Ballad of
Love and Glory.

Bestselling author Reyna Grande will join book club readers for a virtual
conversation with Times editor Steve Padilla about her new novel,
A Ballad of Love and Glory.

Set in 1846, Grande's historical saga follows a Mexican Army nurse and a
disheartened Irish soldier during the Mexican-American War. "It's a great
story and a revealing look at a lesser-sung chapter of American history,"
says Publishers Weekly.

Grande is the author of a bestselling 2012 memoir, The Distance Between
Us, about a childhood torn between Mexico and California.
In 2018, she published A Dream Called Home, a sequel.

Special oﬀer for book club readers: Order a copy of A Ballad of Love
and Glory with an autographed bookplate signed by Grande. Your book
will be sent from Pages bookstore, our local bookselling partner.
