By the Book: Book Club June 2019 - Leia: Princess of Alderaan

Our book club ventures into a galaxy far, far away with BFM’s Arvind Yuvaraj, to re-acquaint ourselves with a beloved screen character: Princess Leia. Claudia Gray’s young adult novel, Leia: Princess of Alderaan introduces us to a 16-year-old Leia Organa, and takes us along on her journey of growing into her legacy. And as a nod to Father’s Day, we discuss our favourite literary dads, both complex and beloved, from Game of Thrones, The Godfather, and Harry Potter.
