Event Details
Join us for the unique opportunity of discussing a manuscript before it's published! This semi-biographical, fictionalized account of the author's mother traces her real struggles across the decades from the 1930s into the '70s. Using facts from her life but bending and blending them into a satisfying story, None of Them Will Die engages with made-up things that are true to her character and the historical arc of her life, which knew both travails and triumphs.Acclaimed local author John Thorndike will be the discussion leader for this three-part book club (and will take into consideration the group's discussion when editing his final draft). His most recent works are the engaging historical novel A Hundred Fires in Cuba and the poignant memoir The Last of His Mind. Registration required. Free copy presented at registration. Copies limited.
