Author Susan Kleinman will join our book club for a special conversation about her novel All Afternoon, the inspiration behind it, and the characters and themes that bring the story to life.
Set in a tight-knit Jewish community in 1978, All Afternoon follows Marilyn Weisfeld, a once-promising writer who set aside her literary dreams for marriage and motherhood. Years later, an old friend of her husband comes to dinner. Bestselling author Henry Goldfarb remembers Marilyn’s early stories—and he remembers her.
When Henry encourages Marilyn to write again, she begins sneaking into Manhattan each week to meet with him. As she catches glimpses of the life she might have lived, Marilyn must decide how much she is willing to risk to reclaim a part of herself she thought she had left behind.
