7:00PM at the Main Library, Thursday, March 2
Please join the Village Bookstore and the Mount Pleasant Library as they join forces for an in-person Local Author Book Club.
Participants will discuss the book and will later be joined by the author to continue the discussion. This month's selection is The Hundred Waters by Lauren Acampora.
The Book
Celebrated by the Boston Globe as "a brilliant anthropologist of the suburbs," the deliciously weird and darkly offbeat Lauren Acampora returns to the secret lives of the polished Connecticut haven that got us all hooked on NPR Best Book of the Year The Wonder Garden, and jolts us with the sparks that fly when those lives collide,
The Author
