Southport, CT - Join Pequot Library for a Digital Meet the Author event on Zoom with Roxana Robinson, interviewed by Amy Hufnagel. Robinson is the author of Dawson’s Fall, and Amy Hufnagel is the Director of Programs & Visitor Experience at the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center in Hartford, CT.
In Dawson’s Fall, a novel based on the lives of Roxana Robinson’s great-grandparents, we see America at its most fragile, fraught, and malleable. Set in 1889, in Charleston, South Carolina, Robinson’s tale weaves her family’s journal entries and letters with a novelist’s narrative grace, and spans the life of her tragic hero, Frank Dawson, as he attempts to navigate the country’s new political, social, and moral landscape.
You will receive an email with Zoom meeting details on the day of the event.
“Taken as a whole, the…story reads as a reflection of America in the years after the Civil War, defined by reinvention, race, and the ideal of honor.”
