This month's featured author is Robert Gwaltney, author of The Cicada Tree, winner of the Somerset Award for Literary Fiction and Georgia Author of the Year for first novel in 2023. The author talks are sponsored by Libraries for Kids, International. The Cicada Tree is a story about the summer of 1956, when a brood of cicadas descends upon Providence, Georgia, a natural event with supernatural repercussions, unhinging the life of Analeise Newell, an eleven-year-old piano prodigy. Amidst this emergence, dark obsessions stirred, uncanny gifts provoked, and secrets unearthed. We will be at the Roasting Room on the second floor of The Coffee Perk in Bluffton, SC. After the discussion, join us for a "Dutch Treat Lunch." www.robertlgwaltney.com
