Sturtevant

Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland is pleased to present award-winning children's book author Katherine Sturtevant to the store to host a publication party for her new novel, The Brothers Story, on Sunday, November 15th, at 3 p.m. The Brothers Story is a fascinating portrait of a young person struggling to balance family and freedom and also a frank depiction of Restoration London in its bawdy, raucous glory.

“...Sturtevant has done a breathtakingly good job...[The] book is not only a stunning story but a challenging and deeply satisfying work of social conscience.” -- Booklist (starred review)

“Sturtevant’s characters have real human complexity....Packed with authentic period detail...this is a lively adventure that merits a sequel...” -- Horn Book

Katherine Sturtevant has previously written At the Sign of the Star, a Booklist Editors’ Choice, and its sequel, A True and Faithful Narrative, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, among other accolades. She lives in Berkeley, California.
