READ Vigil Harbor:
When two unexpected visitors arrive in an insular coastal village, they threaten the equilibrium of a community already confronting climate instability, political violence, and domestic upheavals. Vigil Harbor reveals Julia Glass in all her virtuosity, braiding multiple voices and dazzling strands of plot into a story where mortal longings and fears intersect with immortal mysteries of the deep as well as of the heart. 

MEET THE AUTHOR:
Vigil Harbor celebrates the return of Julia Glass with her compelling characters, signature wit, and exquisite prose. In this suspenseful tale, residents of a historic coastal village confront the threats of climate change and political extremes, along with the consequences of their own secrets and betrayals. Braiding multiple voices and dazzling strands of plot, Julia illuminates yet again the power of our shared humanity.  We proudly welcome her to the Croton Free Library on Saturday evening, April 6, at 7:30 p.m.  

 

Tickets will be available for this event on Friday, March 15.
