Join Ann Packer and Ayelet Waldman in the library on Tuesday, August 25th at 4 PM for a lively discussion about their recently published work.

Packer is a prizewinning author of four bestsellers, her short fiction has been published in the New Yorker and O. Henry Prize stories anthologies, and her work has been translated into a dozen languages and sold around the world. Her new book, Some Bright Nowhere, is an intimate and profoundly moving story of a long marriage and the ways in which a dying wish can change a couple’s understanding of who they are, together and apart.

Waldman is a New York Times bestselling author of six books and one essay collection. She co-created Netflix’s Unbelievable, for which she won a Peabody Award and was nominated for an Emmy, a Golden Globe and other prizes. In her new book, a lady’s maid and a gentleman’s valet fall in love and hatch a plan to get their employers together. Waldman sets out to subvert the typical marriage plot of the 19th-century novel with her delightful heroin, Miss Alice Lockey.
