An Afternoon of Historical Fiction with authors Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni & Brianna Labuskes
Join us for an afternoon filled with historical fiction! We are hosting Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, author of INDEPENDENCE, and Brianna Labuskes, author of THE LIBRARIAN OF BURNED BOOKS.
About INDEPENDENCE (on sale 1/17/23): Set during the partition of British India in 1947, a time when neighbor was pitted against neighbor and families were torn apart, award-winning author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s novel brings to life the sweeping story of three sisters caught up in events beyond their control, their unbreakable bond, and their incredible struggle against powerful odds.
"A powerful, gripping, and beautifully told story of three women navigating the crossroads of history. Divakaruni's eye is both unflinching and deeply compassionate, encompassing all the complexities of the sisters' lives. I couldn't put it down."
—Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author of Circe and Song of Achilles
"I have long been a fan of Chitra Divakaruni’s novels, but INDEPENDENCE is now my favorite. She tells the story of India’s independence through the eyes of three sisters, each of whom is uniquely different, with her own desires and flaws. I cheered for them and cried with them as they move through the history of their country that is at once devastating, inspiring, and triumphant. You will, too."
—Lisa See, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Join us for a lovely afternoon with two books that have captured our hearts! We are hosting Elinor Lipman, author of MS. DEMEANOR, and Terri-Lynne DeFino, author of VARINA PALLADINO’S JERSEY ITALIAN LOVE STORY.
About MS. DEMEANOR (On Sale 1/3/23): From one of America’s most beloved contemporary novelists, a delicious and witty story about love under house arrest—for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Maria Semple, and Linda Holmes.
“When a neighbor’s complaint about consensual al fresco sex turns into house arrest and a suspended legal license, Jane’s recipe for survival involves cooking for another home-arrested tenant (could this be a match made in confinement?) while trying to figure out the whys and hows of her mysterious accuser. Filled with food, family, romance and intrigue, Lipman’s novel cooks up a bounty of delights as sparkling as prosecco and as deeply satisfying and delicious as a five-star meal.”
