Author Talk: Nina Sankovitch-Tolstoy And The Purple Chair

Wednesday, January 18, 7-8:30 pm
Nina Sankovitch has always been a avid reader, but after the death of her sister at age 46, she returned to her books for comfort and solace. She has continued to read and review books since her year of intense reading ended, resulting in writing her own book, Tolstoy and the Purple Chair: My Year of Magical Reading, which came out in June 2011. She shares her book reviews and maintains a dialogue with many readers through her blog. Please join local Westport reader/author Nina Sankovitch at the Wilton Library. Books available for purchase and signing.
