-Photo Credit: Robert Presutti
Tuesday, December 20 at 2 PM in Meeting Room B/C
Join the Readers’ Services staff for a fun Year-End Celebration featuring Long Island author Alyson Richman.
Ms. Richman is the author of six novels including the 2012 International bestseller The Lost Wife now being adapted to film.
Copies of her latest novel The Velvet Hours will be sold by the Friends of the Library at the event.
Inspired by the true account of an abandoned Parisian apartment, Alyson Richman brings to life Madame de Florian and Solange Beaugiron, the young woman forced to leave her fabled grandmother’s legacy behind to save all that she loved.
The Velvet Hours explores the unlikely relationship between two women who pursue freedom and independence during uncertain times, as Solange and Marthe’s stories unfold like velvet itself, each stitched with its own shadow and light.
~ From the Publisher
Ms. Richman will discuss the writer’s life, as well as the creation of and inspiration behind her six novels.
Free event.
No registration required.
Light refreshments will be served.
Each attendee will receive a ticket to win a raffle prize.
We have all of Alyson Richman’s novels currently available at the Library to borrow. Start reading one today!
