FREEPORT —Acclaimed Maine author Lily King will read from and talk about her books as part of the “Meet the Author” series sponsored by Friends of the Freeport Community Library Friday, May 2, at 7 p.m. at the library.
King’s three novels have each received rave reviews and critical acclaim. “Father of the Rain,” her third book, was a New York Times Editors’ Choice, winner of the 2010 New England Book Award for Fiction and the 2011 Maine Literary Award for fiction. Set in Nixon-era New England, it is the story of a woman’s lifelong loyalty to her father and the magnetic pull of family.
“The Pleasing Hour,” King’s first novel, was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and an alternate for the PEN/Hemingway Award. Her second book, “The English Teacher,” was a Publishers Weekly Top Ten Best Novel of the Year and a Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year.
Copies of her books will be available for purchase and signing at the free event. Light refreshments will be provided. For more information, visit freeportlibrary.com.
