Patricia A. Smith in Conversation with Jodi Paloni

Sherman's Bookstore
49 Exchange St.
Portland
07/11/2017 | 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

In Patricia A. Smith’s debut novel The Year of Needy Girls, a small town in Massachusetts is thrown into a frenzied witch hunt when a local boy is brutally murdered, an event that quickly turns upstanding members of the community like Deirdre Murphy and her partner Sara Jane Edmonds into targets of suspicion. A strikingly nuanced exploration of identity and the impact of misperception and bigotry, The Year of Needy Girls is a timely reminder of just how dangerous paranoia fueled by intolerance can be.

The Year of Needy Girls is the latest title in Akashic’s Kaylie Jones Books imprint. New England native Patricia A. Smith will appear in conversation with Jodi Paloni at two local bookstores.

Tuesday, July 11, 2017
1:00 PM
Sherman’s Bookstore
49 Exchange St.
Portland, ME

This event is free and open to the public and will be followed by a reading and book signing.
