Nancy Pearl's New Novel

Here's an interesting event at Boswell's.
A special ticketed evening with "America's Librarian" Nancy Pearl, in conversation with beloved Wisconsin Public Radio host Kathleen Dunn, on Saturday, September 9, 7 pm, at Boswell.
 
If you enjoy Kathleen Dunn's book shows with Nancy Pearl, you're going to love Nancy Pearl and Kathleen Dunn live at Boswell. Tickets are $29, and include admission and a copy of Nancy Pearl's new novel, George & Lizzie. $5 of each ticket will be donated back to Wisconsin Public Radio.
 
From Nancy Pearl comes George & Lizzie, an emotionally riveting debut novel about two people with radically different understandings of what love and marriage should be. With pitch-perfect prose and compassion and humor to spare, George and Lizzie is an intimate story of new and past loves, the scars of childhood, and an imperfect marriage at its defining moments.
 
From the starred Booklist review: "Through knotty predicaments both sorrowful and hilarious, Pearl dramatizes a complicated and deeply illuminating union of opposites and conducts profound inquiries into the self, family, empathy, and love. The result is a charming, edgy, and many-faceted novel of penetrating humor and resonant insight."
 
Here's more on ticketing. We'll have a $19 Boswell Book Company gift card available in lieu of the book on the night of the event only, but don't forget, a signed Nancy Pearl book makes a great gift. Pearl will sign backlist and pose for photos. And if you're not able to come, we'll hold your copy of George and Lizzie for up to six months.
