Author visit: Martha Hall Kelly

We are so excited to host Martha Hall Kelly on the publication day of her new novel, The Martha’s Vineyard Beach and Book Club.

Two sisters living on Martha’s Vineyard during World War II find hope in the power of storytelling when they start a wartime book club for women—a spectacular novel inspired by true events from the New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls. 

Martha Hall Kelly is the New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls, Lost Roses, Sunflower Sisters, and The Golden Doves. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Martha was inspired to write The Martha’s Vineyard Beach and Book Club by her mother's family, the Smiths, who settled on Martha's Vineyard in 1891. She received journalism degrees from both Syracuse and Northwestern Universities and worked as an advertising copywriter for many years before becoming a novelist. With more than two million copies of her books sold and translated in fifty countries, Martha lives in Litchfield, Connecticut, and Hobe Sound, Florida.

We will have a reception in the art gallery starting at 6:00 and Martha will speak at 6:30. Books will be available for sale by Black Rock Books. Registration encouraged.
