We’re thrilled to welcome local bestselling author Emily Franklin on Sunday, June 7th for a one-of-a-kind Book Brunch inspired by her highly-acclaimed new novel, Love and Other Monsters, historical fiction about the untold origin story of Frankenstein, told from the perspective of Claire Clairmont, Mary Shelley’s forgotten stepsister. Emily’s novel The Lioness of Boston, about trailblazer Isabella Stewart Gardner, is in its 11th printing.
Each guest will enjoy a delicious brunch, book talk with open Q & A, and receive a signed copy of the novel!
