SUMMARY:The Secret Book Society: An Evening with Madeline Martin
DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to the Secret Book Society…with Madeline Martin and Sarah Penner\n\n\nJoin NYT and internationally bestselling author Madeline Martin at the bookstore to celebrate her captivating new historical novel. The Secret Book Society is a gorgeous novel set in Victorian London about a forbidden book club\, dangerous secrets\, and the women who dare to break free. Martin will be in conversation with local\, NYT and internationally bestselling author Sarah Penner! \nPURCHASE YOUR BOOK HERE! \nMore about The Secret Book Society \nLondon\, 1895: Trapped by oppressive marriages and societal expectations\, three women receive a mysterious invitation to an afternoon tea at the home of the reclusive Lady Duxbury. Beneath the genteel facade of the gathering lies a secret book club—a sanctuary where they can discover freedom\, sisterhood\, and the courage to rewrite their stories. \nEleanor Clarke\, a devoted mother suffocating under the tyranny of her husband. Rose Wharton\, a transplanted American dollar princess struggling to fit the mold of an aristocratic wife. Lavinia Cavendish\, an artistic young woman haunted by a dangerous family secret. All are drawn to the enigmatic Lady Duxbury\, a thrice-widowed countess whose husbands’ untimely deaths have sparked whispers of murder. \nAs the women form deep\, heartwarming friendships\, they uncover secrets about their marriages\, their pasts\, and the risks they face. Their courage is their only weapon in the oppressive world that has kept them silent\, but when secrets are deadly\, one misstep could cost them everything. \nMadeline Martin is a New York Times\, USA Today\, Publisher’s Weekly\, and international bestselling author of historical fiction and historical romance with books that have been translated into over twenty-five different languages. She lives in sunny Florida with her two daughters (known collectively as the minions)\, two incredibly spoiled cats and a man so wonderful he’s been dubbed Mr. Awesome. She is a die-hard history lover who will happily lose herself in research any day. When she’s not writing\, researching or ‘moming’\, you can find her spending time with her family at Disney or sneaking a couple spoonfuls of Nutella while laughing over cat videos. She also loves research and travel\, attributing her fascination with history to having spent most of her childhood as an Army brat in Germany. \nSarah Penner is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary and The London Séance Society. Her books have been translated into more than forty languages and her debut\, The Lost Apothecary\, has sold over one million copies worldwide. A graduate of the University of Kansas\, Sarah spent thirteen years in corporate finance and now writes full-time. In her free time\, Sarah enjoys hiking\, yoga\, and cooking. She also sits on the Board of Directors at her local animal shelter\, Friends of Strays. Sarah and her husband\, Marc\, live in Florida. To learn more\, visit SarahPenner.com.
