Description
Katherine Reay, author of The Bronte Plot (Thomas Nelson $15.99) Friday November 13 at 6:00 p.m. Register at Lake Forest Book Store at 847-234-4420 Join us as we celebrate Katherine Reay and her new book! Katherine Reay has enjoyed a life-long affair with the works of Jane Austen and her contemporaries who provide constant inspiration both for writing and for life. Katherine's first novel, "Dear Mr. Knightley," was a contemporary story with a bit of classics flair. It was also a 2014 Christy Award Finalist and winner of the 2014 INSPY Award for Best Debut as well as Carol Awards for both Best Debut and Best Contemporary. Katherine holds a BA and MS from Northwestern University and is a wife, mother, runner, former marketer, avid chocolate consumer and, randomly, a tae kwon do black belt. After living all across the country and a few stops in Europe, Katherine and her family recently moved back to Chicago. Great works of literature and other priceless antiques populate Reay's (Lizzy & Jane, 2014) thoughtful tribute to the Bronte sisters. Lucy Alling has found her niche selling rare books inside the gallery of Chicago's premier interior designer. She charms her client James Carmichael with a limited-edition Jane Eyre-and her latent talent for design-but when James catches Lucy in a lie, he exposes a secret that could end her career. - Kirkus Reviews
