Tuesday, August 15- 1:00-2:30PM The Daylight Marriage, by Heidi Pitlor “Beyond the novel’s taut suspense and subtle characterization, Pitlor’s vivid prose provides an additional pleasure . . . The novel’s suspense lasts right until its shocking climax, but the ‘messy, wonderful, excruciating lives’ of its characters linger in the mind long after the last page.” — The Boston Globe. Selected as a Best Beach Read by Family Circle, The Advocate, Coastal Living and Health magazine.
