Join Karen Stevens for the launch of her short story collection Brilliant Blue. Rooted in the south coast on the infamous Duncock Estate, Brilliant Blue weaves together a tapestry of working-class lives. Taboos are broken. Problems can’t be wished away. But even tragedy is tinged with fragile hopes and humour.
