In the Theater

Long Island author Alyson Richman will join us to discuss her latest bestselling novel, The Lost Wife (our January Monthly Book Club selection).  Ms. Richman is the author of three previous well received novels: The Mask Carver’s Son, Swedish Tango and The Last Van Gogh which was nominated as a Book Sense Notable Pick in 2006. 

The Lost Wife was recently chosen as the 2012 Long Island Reads Selection.

“A rapturous new novel of first love in a time of war-from the celebrated author of The Last Van Gogh.  In pre-war Prague, the dreams of two young lovers are shattered when they are separated by the Nazi invasion. Then, decades later, thousands of miles away in New York, there's an inescapable glance of recognition between two strangers. Providence is giving Lenka and Josef one more chance. From the glamorous ease of life in Prague before the Occupation, to the horrors of Nazi Europe, The Lost Wife explores the power of first love, the resilience of the human spirit- and the strength of memory (From the Publisher).”

Copies of the book will be sold by the Friends of the Library at the event.
