SUMMARY:Author Event with Rachel Beanland\, The Half Life
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Rachel Beanland\, Author of The Half Life \nWhat happens when the life you chose starts to feel like a cage? When twenty-three-year-old Eileen O’Malley falls for a charming naval officer\, she finds herself following him to the tiny\, sun-drenched Mediterranean island of La Maddalena — far from everything she’s ever known. But paradise has a dark underbelly: when Italian activists begin sounding the alarm about nuclear contamination in the water\, the island erupts in protest — and Eileen’s loyalties begin to shift\, drawn into a web of secrets and toward a local journalist who forces her to imagine a life beyond the one she’s been handed. \nAtmospheric\, sexy\, and quietly defiant\, The Half Life is a story of love\, complicity\, and awakening. Readers are calling it a page-turner they literally lost sleep over. \nJoin us for an intimate evening with Richmond author Rachel Beanland — author of Florence Adler Swims Forever\, winner of the National Jewish Book Award for Debut Fiction — as she discusses her stunning new novel\, takes questions from the audience\, and signs books. \nTickets: 🎟 $45 — includes a Hardcover copy of The Half Life 🎟 $20 — general admission\, no book included. \nSeating is limited.
