Diana Burg: Dalliance November 13, 2008

Diana Burg will read from and sign her debut novel 'Dalliance.' Based on an actual Illinois divorce trial of 1860 that riveted the country with newspaper headlines displaying the personal lives of prominent citizens, Burg's novel probes human motivations and failings along with a social climate percolating with the demands for civil and social rights of women. Richly drawn characters and Burg's eloquent style combine to make this an engrossing and emotionally powerful novel readers will not soon forget.
