SUMMARY:Exclusive Luncheon and Talk with Lauren McBrayer\, Author of "Like a House on Fire"
DESCRIPTION:Event Details \n\nLauren McBrayer will discuss her electric and seductive new book\, “Like a House on Fire\,” at this intimate luncheon in support of the Friends of the Library. This Kirkus Reviews starred book is about a woman at a turning point in her life\, and what happens when she discovers the spark that makes her feel whole again. This novel is a razor-sharp look at love\, motherhood\, marriage\, and identity that pushes us to wonder what it really means to have what you thought you wanted\, and yet come to realize that there’s so much more. \nThe $40 ticket includes lunch and a hardcover copy of the book. Proceeds support free programs at the library such as lectures\, workshops\, classes\, concerts and children’s programs. The talk will be followed by a Q&A session and a chance to have the author sign books. This event is in partnership with Warwick’s Bookstore. To purchase tickets and reserve your seats\, please visit cplevents.org. Don’t delay – seating is limited! \nAbout the Author: \nLauren McBrayer is a graduate of Yale with a law degree from UC Berkeley. A working mom of three\, she is the head of business for an entertainment company in Los Angeles. “Like a House on Fire” is her adult debut. \nReview Quotes: \n“Wise\, witty\, and tender\, Like a House on Fire is a multilayered examination of connection and desire that artfully tackles the question: what if the person you are isn’t the one you set out to be? It’s beautifully written with deep empathy and vivid characters. I was utterly seduced and satisfied by this book.” – Camille Perri\, author of When Katie Met Cassidy and The Assistants \n“Like a House on Fire is an un-put-downable novel about motherhood\, middle-aged malaise\, questioning identity and the choices women are forced to make. I found parts of myself on every page; every woman will find herself along the way as they turn the pages of Merit’s life and get lost in McBrayer’s raw\, emotional and stunning prose. And the ending… well\, I’m still shaking. Every woman should read this book. Alert your book club\, this one will bring out the discussion\, the confessions and the wine.” – Elyssa Friedland\, author of Last Summer at the Golden Hotel \n“Humming with tension and the volcanic rumble of mid-life coming of age\, Lauren McBrayer’s Like a House on Fire explores queerness against the backdrop of rekindled ambition\, marriage\, motherhood and the various trappings of hetero-normative expectations. This book will wake you up and turn you on.” – Rebecca Woolf\, author of All of This and Rockabye
