The Clover House, Henriette Lazaridis’ “stunning debut novel” (USA Today), is “well-paced and filled with likable, plausibly flawed characters,” says Kirkus Reviews. Readers agree. It was a Boston Globe bestseller. Come hear Lazaridis talk about her powerful story of family, betrayal, and even forgiveness. It’s worth your lunch hour. Booklist says she “melds the stories of mother and daughter into an absorbing tale that deserves to rank high on the list of women’s fiction.”
Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
