The Library is thrilled to host New York Times bestselling author Catherine Newman on Tuesday, March 24 at 6:30 PM for an engaging evening featuring a reading, audience Q&A, and book signing.
Newman has become one of today’s most beloved literary voices, especially with her acclaimed adult fiction. Her novel Sandwich was an instant New York Times bestseller, praised for its sharp humor and heartfelt insights into family life, love, and the universal challenges of midlife. Building on that success, Newman’s novel Wreck—a follow-up that reunites readers with the unforgettable character Rocky and her family—also debuted high on the New York Times bestseller list and was selected as a Good Morning America Book Club pick. With warmth, wit, and emotional depth, Newman’s stories explore the messy, moving, and often hilarious realities of marriage, parenting, aging, and the fragile beauty of everyday life. Whether you’re already a fan or new to her work, this event is a wonderful chance to hear directly from the author about her creative process and the inspirations behind her novels.
This program is free and open to all. Copies of Newman’s books will be available for purchase during the event, and light refreshments will be offered. Sponsored by Friends of the East Hampton Public Library.
