May 13 2020

Norwalk, CT–Please join us on Thursday, May 21, at 3 p.m., when the Norwalk Public Library’s Not Your Usual Book Club and Books Sandwiched In meet on Zoom for a lively discussion of The Bar Harbor Retirement Home for Retired Writers (And Their Muses): A Novel by Terri-Lynne DeFino, led by moderator Susannah Violino. The book is available to Norwalk library cardholders as an ebook on Overdrive. Please contact Susannah at sviolino@norwalkpl.org to register, and for information about joining this live program.

The Bar Harbor Retirement Home for Retired Writers (And Their Muses) is a whimsical, moving novel about a retirement home for literary legends who spar, conjure up new stories, and almost magically change the lives of the people around them. As the edges between story and reality blur, a world within a world is created. It’s a place where joie de vivre returns, where the old are made young, the damaged are made whole, and anything is possible. . . . Publisher

Terri-Lynne DeFino was born and raised in New Jersey, but escaped to the wilds of Connecticut, where she still lives with her husband and her cats. She spends most days in her loft, in her woodland cabin along the river, writing about people she’s never met. Other days, she can be found slaying monsters with her grandchildren. If you knock on her door, she’ll most likely be wearing a tiara. She’ll also invite you in and feed you, because you can take the Italian girl out of Jersey, but you can’t take the Jersey Italian out of the girl.
