SUMMARY:An Evening with Author Kate Quinn
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, July 9\, celebrate the launch of Kate Quinn’s latest book\, The Briar Club. Quinn will be in conversation with author Jennifer Coburn (Cradles of the Reich) at 7 pm at the Coronado Public Library. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, subject to availability. Limited preferred seating is available with purchase of The Briar Club through Adventure’s by the Book. Please visit adventuresbythebook.com/calendar-event/kate-quinn/ for more information. \n\nKate Quinn is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of historical fiction. A native of southern California\, she attended Boston University where she earned a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Classical Voice. She has written four novels in the Empress of Rome Saga\, and two books in the Italian Renaissance\, before turning to the 20th century with The Alice Network\, The Huntress\, The Rose Code\, and The Diamond Eye. All have been translated into multiple languages. \n\nAbout The Briar Club\n\nThe Briar Club is a haunting and powerful story of female friendships and secrets in a Washington\, DC\, boardinghouse during the McCarthy era. \nWashington\, DC\, 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House\, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely\, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic room\, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss\, whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; policeman’s daughter Nora\, who finds herself entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Beatrice\, whose career has come to an end along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous\, gung-ho Arlene\, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare. \nGrace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives\, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears the house apart\, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: who is the true enemy in their midst? \nCapturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America\, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the test. \nJennifer Coburn is the author of Cradles of the Reich\, a historical novel about three very different women living at a Nazi Lebensborn breeding home at the start of World War ll. She has also published a mother-daughter travel memoir\, We’ll Always Have Paris\, as well as six contemporary women’s novels. Additionally\, Coburn has contributed to five literary anthologies\, including A Paris All Your Own.
