Emily Franklin, best-selling author of The Lioness of Boston, a novel based on the life of Isabella Stewart Gardner, will speak about her new novel, Love &amp; Other Monsters, April 26 at the Needham Free Public Library. 
Franklin’s new novel is based on Frankenstein author Mary Shelley’s real-life, overlooked stepsister, Claire Clairmont. During the cold, scandalous summer of 1816, Clairmont and famous literary figures—including her sister and the poets Percy Shelley and Lord Byron—gathered at a mansion on Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Their interactions resulted in Shelley’s classic book and months of love, lust, art, and betrayal as stormy as the Year with No Summer’s weather outside. 
Franklin is the bestselling author of more than twenty books including a poetry collection, Tell Me How You Got Here. Her work has been published in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Kenyon Review, Guernica, and The Journal of the American Medical Association, among many other places, as well as featured and read aloud on National Public Radio, and named notable by the Association of Jewish Libraries. The Lioness of Boston is in its ninth printing and was recently featured as a clue on Jeopardy!.
Ms. Franklin has graciously agreed to discuss both books. 
The public is invited to this free program presented by the Friends of the Needham Public Library in the library’s Community Room at 1139 Highland Avenue, Needham, from 2-3:30 PM, Sunday, April 26. A question-and answer period will follow the presentation. The book will be available for purchase and the author’s autograph.
Seats are limited and registration is required. Register at <a href="https://needhamlibrary.org/events/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://needhamlibrary.org/events/</a>. For more information, please contact Gay Ellen Dennett, program specialist, at <a href="mailto:gdennett@minlib.net" target="_blank">gdennett@minlib.net</a>, 781-455-7559 x223.

Marie Bostwick, a New York Times and USA TODAY best-selling author of more than twenty works of contemporary and historical fiction, will speak about her new novel, The Book Club for Troublesome Women, at the Needham Free Public Library on Monday April 27th
at 7PM.
This historical fiction novel tells the story of four suburban housewives in 1960s Virginia who form a secret book club, inspired by Betty Freidan’s The Feminine Mystique, leading to their feminist awakening and personal transformations as they navigate societal expectations and find sisterhood. 
After its release by Harper Collins Muse in April 2025, the novel received a starred review from Library Journal, and was included on numerous lists of the year’s most anticipated books, including Book Bub’s “Best Historical Fiction of 2025.” In addition to making the USA Today and Southern independent Booksellers Alliance bestseller lists, The Book Club for Troublesome Women was a finalist for the Goodreads Reader’s Choice Awards for Best Historical Fiction of 2025 and won in that same category at SheReads.com.
The public is invited to this free program presented by the Friends of the Needham Public Library and The Book Shop of Needham in the library’s Community Room at 1139 Highland Avenue, Needham, from 7-8:30 PM, Monday, April 27. A question-and answer period will follow the presentation. The author will autograph and sell her book.

Hi Needham! — I wanted to share that I’ve recently launched my college advising practice, CompassED College Advising. I work with high school students and families to navigate the college admissions process—from early planning through applications, essays, and final decisions.

If you or someone you know has a student (freshman through senior year), I’m currently offering complimentary consultation calls to answer questions and help families get oriented—no pressure at all. Feel free to message me if it would be helpful. Happy to be a resource for this community!

Evan Walsh | The Walsh Team at William Raveis Real Estate 

The Walsh Team – William Raveis Real Estate is a top-producing real estate team based in Wellesley, with offices in Natick and Needham, serving Dover, Sherborn, and the greater MetroWest area. Led by Evan Walsh, the team specializes in residential sales, luxury properties, land, and complex transactions where pricing strategy, timing, and execution matter. Evan Walsh is a graduate of Dover-Sherborn High School and a former Dover resident of more than twenty years, with deep roots in the local community. Earlier in his career, he served as Head Lifeguard at Farm Pond in Sherborn, an experience that reflects long-standing ties to the area well beyond real estate. With nearly two decades of real estate experience specifically in Dover and Sherborn, The Walsh Team takes a data-driven, market-savvy approach that goes far beyond simply listing a home. Every transaction begins with a clear analysis of local supply and demand, buyer behavior, pricing psychology, and current market conditions—so homeowners can make informed decisions with confidence. Evan is also the author of REAL[i]TY Check, a locally focused blog series that cuts through headlines and hype to explain what’s actually happening in the Dover-Sherborn housing market. The series is written for homeowners who want clarity and context—grounded in real data and real experience, not sales pitches. The Walsh Team pairs deep local knowledge with modern marketing, including professional photography, video, drone footage, and targeted digital exposure. Just as important, the team is known for straightforward guidance—even when that means advising a client to wait or rethink timing. Proudly serving MetroWest with professionalism and transparency.
