Vroman's Presents Christina Schwartz & Karen Essex July 10, 2008

Vroman's presents a group event featuring two very talented authors. In So Long at the Fair, Christina Schwarz, author of the #1 NY Times Bestseller Drowning Ruth, weaves an intricate, suspenseful, and ultimately chilling tale about a revenge plot with near-tragic consequences, one that still reverberates forty years later in a small Wisconsin town and one that threatens to destroy a marriage. The Elgin Marbles have been displayed in the British Museum for nearly two hundred years, and for just as long they have been the center of a raging controversy. In Stealing Athena, bestselling author Karen Essex chronicles the Marbles' amazing journey through the dynamic narratives of Mary Nisbet, wife of the Earl of Elgin, the British ambassador to Constantinople, and Aspasia, the mistress of Perikles, the most powerful man in Athens during that city's Golden Age.
