Julia Glass will discuss and sign her new novel The Widower's Tale. This is a rich and powerful tale of multigenerational loyalties, rivalries, and secrets. In a quirky farmhouse outside Boston, 70-year-old Percy Darling enjoys a vigorous but mostly solitary life until, in a complex scheme to help his oldest daughter through a crisis, he allows a progressive preschool to move into his barn. The abrupt transformation of Percy's rural refuge into a lively, youthful community compels him to reexamine the choices he's made. Julia Glass won the National Book Award for The Three Junes in 2002. She is also the author of The Whole World Over and I See You Everywhere.
