Join us for a presentation with author Marianne Monson Saturday, April 22nd, 2 p.m. This is a hybrid event; come to the library or watch online.

Monson will discuss her latest novel, The Opera Sisters, based on the true story of sisters Ida and Louise Cook – who, on the eve of World War II, used their passion for opera to attempt the daring rescue of dozens of Jewish refugees. The Opera Sisters has been praised as heart-wrenching, eye-opening, and hopeful.

She has been nominated for a Whitney Award and the American Library Association’s Amelia Bloomer award. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts, teaches writing, and is the founder and president of The Writer’s Guild, a literary nonprofit. She lives part-time in her 100-year-old house in Astoria, Oregon.
