A Virtual Author Event with Sulari Gentill
<p>Join Swamp Fox Bookstore on Wednesday, June 15 at 7 PM Central for a virtual author chat with Sulari Gentill. The event is free, but registration is required. Register at <a href="http://swampfoxbookstore.com/sulari?fbclid=IwAR0PLD166mwicwhbnVuqK1F5oDuIgy8Wyr2XpIDt3dH7F1ZhqxzXo5gsh4s" rel="nofollow noopener" tabindex="0" target="_blank">swampfoxbookstore.com/sulari</a></p><p>About Sulari Gentill<br>After setting out to study astrophysics, graduating in law, and then abandoning her legal career to write books, SULARI GENTILL now grows French black truffles on her farm in the foothills of Australia's Snowy Mountains. Sulari is the author of the Rowland Sinclair historical mystery series and the Ned Kelly award-winner After She Wrote Him. Her latest novel, The Woman in the Library, releases in June 2022.</p><p>About The Woman in the Library<br>Four strangers in a library strike up a friendship. One of them is a murderer. As they each share their stories, which one has something to hide?</p><p>The ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet, until the tranquility is shattered by a woman's terrified scream. Security guards take charge immediately, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four strangers sitting at the same table pass the time in conversation. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning—it just so happens that one of them is a murderer.</p><p>Award-winning author Sulari Gentill delivers a sharply thrilling read with The Woman in the Library, an unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship and shows us that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all.</p> 2022-04-15 20:00:00 -0500

Art Lovers Book Club: The House of Fragile Things: Jewish Art Collectors and the Fall of France by James McAuley
<p>In the dramatic years between 1870 and the end of World War II, a number of prominent French Jews—pillars of an embattled community—invested their fortunes in France’s cultural artifacts, sacrificed their sons to the country’s army, and were ultimately rewarded by seeing their collections plundered and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps.<br><br>In this rich, evocative account, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the assimilation and identity of French Jews in the<em> fin-de-siècle</em>. Weaving together narratives of various figures, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust and the diaries of Jules and Edmond Goncourt—the Camondos, the Rothschilds, the Ephrussis, the Cahens d'Anvers—McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: they were often accused of “invading” France’s cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind—many ultimately donated to the French state—were their response, tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them.</p> 2022-03-17 17:00:00 -0500
