PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard returns with How the Light Gets In, the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her beloved novel Count the Ways.
In this heartrending multigenerational story, the indomitable matriarch Eleanor and her family navigate through 15 years as their lives play out against a uniquely American backdrop and the events that transform their world—climate change, the January 6 insurrection, school violence—along with later-life love, parental alienation, and steadfast friendship. With touching insight, Maynard paints an indelible portrait of characters both familiar and new who are making their way over rough, messy, and treacherous terrain to find their way to what is, for each, a place to call “home.”
Books for virtual ticket holders will be shipped after the event date.

PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
Deborah Harkness returns with The Black Bird Oracle, the highly anticipated fifth novel in her beloved All Souls series. Harkness first introduced readers to Oxford scholar and witch Diana Bishop and vampire geneticist Matthew de Clairmont in A Discovery of Witches. Drawn to each other despite long-standing taboos, they bonded over the battle to recover a lost enchanted manuscript.
Since then, they have fallen in love, traveled to Elizabethan England, dissolved the Covenant between the three species, and awoken the dark powers within Diana’s family line. With a new formal demand from the Congregation and desperate to avoid the same fate that led her parents to spellbind her, Diana decides to forge a different path to ensure her family’s safety and answers a message from a great-aunt she never knew existed.
Deborah Harkness is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, and The Book of Life. A history professor at the University of Southern California, Harkness has received Fulbright, Guggenheim, and National Humanities Center fellowships.
All books purchased as part of a ticket/book bundle will be pre-signed and include priority access to a post event photo opportunity with Deborah Harkness. There will not be a post event book signing.

PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
Silvia Moreno-Garcia returns with The Seventh Veil of Salome, a sumptuous historical epic about a young woman in 1950s Hollywood who wins the role of a lifetime in a film about Salome, the legendary heroine whose story has inspired artists since ancient times.
When the film’s mercurial director casts Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingenue, in the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town. She also becomes an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, a bit player whose career has stalled and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she deserves. Two actresses, both determined to make it to the top in Golden Age Hollywood—a city overflowing with gossip, scandal, and intrigue—make for a sizzling combination.
Silvia Moreno-Garcia is the author of several novels, including Velvet Was the Night, Mexican Gothic, and Gods of Jade and Shadow.“A story that bubbles with anticipation and will leave you spellbound.” —Fiona Davis

PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
Location: Horchow Auditorium
In Someone Like Us, by Dinaw Mengestu, the son of Ethiopian immigrants seeks to understand a hidden family history and uncovers a past colored by unexpected loss, addiction, and the enduring emotional pull toward home.
After abandoning a promising career as a journalist to search for a new life in Paris, Mamush meets Hannah, a photographer whose way of seeing the world shows him the possibility of finding not only love but family. Five years later, with his marriage on the verge of collapse, he returns to the close-knit immigrant Ethiopian community of Washington, DC, that defined his childhood and sets out on an unexpected journey across America in search of answers to questions he’d been told never to ask. This is a breathtaking, commanding, unforgettable work from one of America’s most prodigiously gifted novelists.Dinaw Mengestu is the author of three novels, all of which were named New York Times Notable Books. A native of Ethiopia who came with his family to the United States at the age of two, Mengestu is also a freelance journalist who has reported about life in Darfur, northern Uganda, and eastern Congo. His articles and fiction have appeared in the New York Times, the New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and more. He is a 2012 MacArthur Fellow and recipient of numerous awards, including a Lannan Literary Fellowship for Fiction and a National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Prize.
Books purchased as part of an optional ticket/book bundle can be picked up the night of the event.

In conversation with Lisa WingateAll ticket types will include a pre-signed copy of By Any Other Name, this event does not have a public book signing however, this event does include a post event photo opportunity with the author.
New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult returns with By Any Other Name, a sweeping tale of ambition, courage, and desire told in intertwining timelines rooted in primary historical sources.Two women born centuries apart are determined to create, despite the prejudices they face. Melina Green has just written a new play inspired by the life of her Elizabethan ancestor, but fears that she’ll never get her work produced on stage due to lingering discrimination against women even in the 21st century. As she contemplates risking failure again, her best friend submits her play to a festival under a male pseudonym. Meanwhile, in 1581, Emilia Bassano, endowed with a sharp wit and a gift for storytelling, forms a plan to secretly bring a play of her own to the stage—by paying an actor named William Shakespeare to front her work.
Jodi Picoult is the author of 29 novels, including Wish You Were Here, A Spark of Light, and My Sister’s Keeper.
