This week The Sassenach Files is hosting the latest episode of Droughtlander Book Club, the first in a two part series covering The Topaz Brooch by Katherine Lowry Logan. This is the abridged version of the live event hosted in TSF Obsassenachs on September 7, 2024. Come along as we break down what makes our newest set of main characters (Rick O’Grady and Billie Malone) tick. During this deep dive, we also chatted about a couple of prevalent themes from the novel, the history surrounding the War of 1812, and Chelsea’s favorite secondary character of the series, Jean Lafitte!
