Join Northshire Bookstore for the launch of the "riveting," "innovative" "striking debut" ALL GIRLS by Emily Layden in a wide-ranging literary conversation with Ellie Eaton author of THE DIVINES!

Emily Layden's All Girls is a keenly perceptive coming of age novel for fans of Sally Rooney, Curtis Sittenfeld, and J. Courtney Sullivan, that follows nine young women as they navigate their ambitions and fears at a prestigious New England prep school, all pitched against the backdrop of a scandal the administration wants silenced.

We are thrilled to welcome to Northshire Live longtime friend of the bookstore, staff and customer favorite Ariel Lawhon to present the newest feat of historical fiction Code Name Hélène, based on the thrilling real-life store of socialite spy Nancy Wake, the astonishing woman who killed a Nazi with her bare hands and went on to become one of the most decorated women in WWII. She will discuss the book with fellow historical fiction author - and fellow Northshire staff favorite - Kim Van Alkemade.
