Although author Linda Lappin lives in Italy, we're thrilled to be celebrating her newest novel The Etruscan with a dramatic reading by two Bellinghamsters! Don't miss this amazing event! The author will join us on Zoom, followed by a fifteen-minute reading with Lauren and Rich.
In Lappin's prize-winning, literary gothic tale, the tantalizing love story between American heroine Harriet Sackett and the enigmatic Count Federigo, self-proclaimed Etruscan spirit, is played out in 1922 against the backdrop of eerie Etruscan tombs, boar-infested woods, and elegant Tuscan villas. The mystery at the heart of Harriet's experience draws the reader on: who is Federigo del Re? Noble lover, unscrupulous conman, Etruscan ghost, village shaman, or simply the product of Harriet's delusion? Lappin keeps the suspense pulled taut till the very last page.
