Join us on Thursday 6/8 @ 2pm to discuss Leaving Lucy Pear by Anna Solomon. “One night in 1917 Beatrice Haven leaves her newborn baby at the foot of a pear tree, and watches as another woman claims the infant as her own. The unwed daughter of wealthy Jewish industrialists and a gifted pianist bound for Radcliffe, Bea plans to leave her shameful secret behind. Ten years later she returns, but is inadvertently reunited the woman who has been raising Bea’s abandoned child—now a bright, bold, cross-dressing girl named Lucy Pear, with secrets of her own.” Email stonlib@stoningtonfreelibrary.org for more information!
