One of my critique partners from the VCFA conference, Susan Carlton, is holding a book reading on 4/26 at the Barnes & Noble at Boston University for her new book, Love and Haight. The book, which is her second, came out the weekend we were at the conference. Very exciting!
As the title might suggest, it’s 1971 and 17-year-old Chloe is on her way to San Francisco with her best friend MJ.
Ellen Wittlinger sums up the novel as follows: “Caught between ‘An Old-Fashioned Love Song’ and ‘Stairway to Heaven’, Chloe’s trying to figure out her own morality in the midst of Haight-Ashbury, ground zero for trippy hippies in 1971. Carlton’s novel is lyrical, honest and moving.”
What a thrill! Way to go Susan. If you live in the area, and think you might be able to swing by, grab a cup of coffee and join her!
Date: Thursday, 4/26/12
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Barnes & Noble, Boston University (660 Beacon Street, Boston)
