The Newburyport Literary Festival (Newburyport, MA)

The Ties That Bind: Complicated

Family triangles are at the heart of two recent novels by bestselling authors. Adrienne Brodeur’s Little Monsters, set on Cape Cod, explores how the relationships between a widowed oceanographer and his grown son and daughter are threatened by the secrets they each keep. Stephen McCauley’s hilarious You Only Call When You’re in Trouble features a struggling architect of tiny houses whose devotion to his outrageous sister and cherished niece continually disrupts his life. Nancy Crochiere (Graceland) will moderate.

This event will take place at the Firehouse Center for the Arts and is free and open to the public.
