Holly LeCraw
Thursday, April 9, 7 PM
In an event that was postponed due to snow, and apparently will still come with a light dusting (in April!), Holly LeCraw, author of The Swimming Pool, joins us to present her new novel, The Half Brother.
“A stirring, melancholy tale of families and the secrets they dare not share, set against the cloistered backdrop of a New England boarding school.” –Janice Y. K. Lee, author of The Piano Teacher
"Unexpected revelations and surprising twists of fate rule the day in this gripping tale of love's complexities. LeCraw's people are tender and they are ruthless - but mostly they are unforgettable, as a Southern family finds itself linked to a New England boarding school with results both tragic and merciful. The Half Brother is a memorable read you'll want to share and discuss with your favorite literary companions right away."

New Hampshire is home to many fine writers, poets, and artists, but none more gifted and influential than Charles Simic. 
A writer and poet of truly international stature, Simic is also an entertainer, writing as winningly on jazz, food, and sex as he does on history and culture.
We consider ourselves very lucky to host an event for him, and we hope that you'll all turn out to hear him read and speak.
Here's a very nice review of his new work in the New York Times.
