Events

Certain to become a book club favorite, Lily King’s third novel is even more satisfying than The English Teacher, the book she shared in her 2005 Third Place visit.  We meet 11-year-old Daley and her privileged New England family in the early 70’s, at one of many events controlled by her father’s alcoholic escapades.  Daley’s life is shaped by her love for and struggles with him, her mother, and her brother; the reader shares her angst, good intentions, and quest to create a family of her own.
