Jane Smiley leads us into a Private Life

Pultizer Prize winner and Bookshop Santa Cruz favorite Jane Smiley will be here to celebrate her new novel, Private Life—a stunning tale that traverses the intimate landscape of one woman’s life, from the 1880’s to World War II.

Private Life is a evocation of a woman's inner world: of the little girl within the hopeful bride, of the young woman filled with yearning, and of the faithful wife who comes to harbor a dangerous secret. But it is also a heartbreaking portrait of marriage and the mysteries that endure even in lives lived side by side; a wondrously evocative historical panorama; and, above all, an unforgettable novel from one of our finest storytellers.

Please join us for a reading, signing, and audience Q&A with one of the nation’s most talented contemporary writers.
