Boston-area award-winning novelist Lisa Borders will moderate a panel of four highly acclaimed novelists in an event sponsored by The Boston Chapter of the Women’s National Book Association.
The National Reading Group Month event will be held at Brookline Booksmith in Brookline on Tuesday, October 27 at 7 p.m. The panel includes:
Lauren Acampora, The Wonder Garden, Grove Press
Jeanine Atkins, Little Woman in Blue, She Writes Press
Heidi Pitlor, The Daylight Marriage, Algonquin Books
Virginia Pye, Dreams of the Red Phoenix, Unbridled Books
The authors will read from their works, which will be available for sale, and will autograph books upon request.
National Reading Group Month salutes reading groups. It fosters their growth and promotes the love of literature. It’s an opportunity for reading groups to reflect on their accomplishments and plan for the future — the perfect time to join or start a group.

Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
