Book Talk: Historical Fiction, Hidden Pasts

Maisy Card (These Ghosts Are Family) introduces three novels that engage us in deeply human stories and shed light on previous eras. In Helena Rho’s Stone Angels, a newly divorced woman travels to Seoul to connect with her roots and uncover the truth about a family secret buried for over sixty years. Set in part in 1980s South Korea, The Stone Home by Crystal Hana Kim captures a shameful period of history, exploring the legacy of violence and the psychology of power. A love story, mystery, and philosophical puzzle, Alice Austen’s 33 Place Brugmann tells the story of the residents of an apartment building during World War II. Lives of ordinary people caught in the crosshairs of history, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
Venue: Montclair Public Library Auditorium.
This is a free event, part of the ninth annual Succeed2gether's Montclair Literary Festival.
