Yrsa Daley-Ward with Laura Warrell—The Catch

Join Diesel, A Bookstore in partnership with PEN America on Wednesday May 28th at 6:30 pm as they welcome Yrsa Daley-Ward to the store to discuss and sign The Catch. Joining her in conversation will be Laura Warrell.   

In her riveting first foray into fiction, Daley-Ward introduces twin sisters Clara and Dempsey, separated from their mother, Serene, in childhood. In adulthood, they are content to be all but estranged, until Clara sees a woman who looks exactly like their mother on the streets of London, but unchanged by time and living a childless life. In this kaleidoscopic multiverse of daughterhood and longing, Daley-Ward examines the sacrifices Black women make to achieve self-actualization.
