AuthorsLive: The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia by Juliet Grames

In celebration of Italian-American Heritage Month, Greenwich Library AuthorsLive welcomes Connecticut-born writer and editor Juliet Grames, national and international bestselling author of The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia and The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna.

She will discuss The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia, her suspenseful puzzle mystery about a young starry-eyed American woman-turned-amateur detective in a small, 1960s Southern Italian village who is tasked with opening a nursery school, but drawn into the mystery surrounding the identity of a recently discovered human skeleton.

Grames’s debut novel, set in Calabria and Connecticut, was shortlisted for the New England Book Award and the Connecticut Book Award, and received Italy’s Premio Centraro for contribution to Southern Italian literature. Both The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna and The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia were selected for LibraryReads, the monthly nationwide library staff picks list for adult fiction and non-fiction.

Copies of The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia will be available for purchase and signing with thanks to Diane’s Books.
