Novelist to Sign Books at Library

First time author Amanda Coplin will give a talk this evening at the Downtown Public Library at 7 p.m. She will sign copies of her book following her talk.

Portland resident Coplin is author of The Orchardist, the story of a lonely man who runs an orchard. He provides shelter to two pregnant runaway teens. Reviewer Mary Ann Gwinn of the Seattle Times wrote, ‘"The Orchardist" beautifully conveys the sights, smells and landscape of Eastern Washington orchard country in an era before telephones and automobiles.’

The novel was named named one of Publishers Weekly's top 10 literary picks for this fall. How prestigious is that?  Also on the list -- Ian McEwan and Tom Wolfe.

The library is located at 270 Forest Ave. Palo Alto, 94301.

Book signings - think birthdays and Christmas.
