Brookline Booksmith welcomes New York Times-bestselling author KATE ALCOTT for a discussion of her new book, The Hollywood Daughter. Alcott, author of The Dressmaker, The Daring Ladies of Lowell, and A Touch of Stardust, is back with a novel of self discovery and family secrets set against the backdrop of 1950s Hollywood and legendary actress Ingrid Bergman’s descent into infamy.
Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
