Author Robin Black at Barrett Bookstore on Feb. 11

Each season, Barrett Bookstore picks a book that we have all especially enjoyed and would like to share, and we invite the author to visit the store. This season we welcome Robin Black, author of "Life Drawing," for an evening of book talk, wine, and cheese. The event will be held Wednesday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m., and refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to reserve a seat by phoning (203) 655-2712 or emailing barrettbooks@sbcglobal.net.
 
About the book: In their late forties and childless, Owen and Augusta leave the distractions of urban life and move to an isolated farm house to pursue their art - he as a writer, she as a painter. When Alison, a divorcee escaping her own demons, unexpectedly moves in next door, the fault lines in all their lives threaten to break apart, revealing layer upon layer of grief, loss and love. Robin Black is a master storyteller. Her prose is eloquent yet distilled. Again and again, in a sentence or phrase she evokes a whole life.

Barrett Bookstore is located at 314 Heights Rd. in Darien, Conn. For more information, phone (203) 655-2712 , or visit barrettbookstore.com.
 


“The page-turning suspense of Robin Black’s novel comes from her beautiful, honest portrait of a marriage, of a life. . . . A novel of consequence, and a stunning one.”—San Francisco Chronicle
