We're excited to welcome Kerri Maher for a virtual conversation about her new historical fiction novel, The Paris Bookseller. Set in early 20th century Paris, the novel tells the story of Sylvia Beach, owner of the famous Shakespeare and Company bookshop, and her dramatic journey to bring one of the most important books of the 20th century to the world. Whitney Scharer, author of The Age of Light, will lead the conversation.

Kerri Maher is the author of The Girl in White Gloves, The Kennedy Debutante, and, under the name Kerri Majors, This is not a Writing Manual: Notes for the Young Writer in the Real World. She holds an MFA from Columbia University and was a writing professor for many years. She now writes full-time and lives with her daughter and dog in a leafy suburb west of Boston.

Whitney Scharer earned her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Washington, and her short fiction has appeared in the Bellevue Review, Cimarron Review, and other journals. She’s received an Emerging Artist Award in Literature from the St. Botolph Club Foundation, a Somerville Arts Council Artists grant, and been awarded a residency at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. The Age of Light is her first novel.
