Special guest autor Lauren Belfer (City of Light) will speak about her latest book, A Fierce Radiance, which is at once a thriller, a love story, a family saga, and a window into American history, evoking the pure essence of war-time New York. It portrays the tumultuous early days of World War II, when many feared that America would lose the war, when even children were caught up in the sacrifices demanded by the nation's mobilization, and when individuals clung fiercely to their loved ones, because no one could predict what tomorrow would bring.
A Fierce Radiance has been named a Washington Post Best Novel of 2010 and an NPR Mystery of the Year. Ms. Belfer will be available to sign copies of her book, which will be on sale at the library under the sponsorship of Blackwood and Brouwer Booksellers.
