☎️ A Reason to See You Again: A Conversation with Jami Attenberg

From New York Times bestselling author Jami Attenberg comes a dazzling novel of family, following a troubled mother and her two daughters over forty years and through a swiftly changing American landscape as they seek lives they can fully claim as their own.

Tombolo Books welcomes Jami Attenberg to the bookstore to celebrate her latest novel, A Reason to See You Again.

Attenberg along with Florida authors Kristen Arnett and Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya will discuss this kaleidoscopic journey through motherhood, the American workforce, the tech industry, the self-help movement, inherited trauma, the ever-evolving ways we communicate with one another, and the many unexpected forms that love can take.
