Please join Longfellow Books and the MWPA for the launch of Simon Van Booy's newest novel Night Came with Many Stars. Simon will be joined in conversation by writer Meredith Hall.
Of Night Came with Many Stars, novelist Christina Baker Kline says, “I read this novel in a headlong rush, unable to break free of its spell. Beautiful as an old bruise, plain-spoken as a prayer, Night Came with Many Stars rings hard and true with the poetry of real life. Van Booy knows that love and heartache go hand-in-hand—and that cold hard reality is no match for the dreams and longings each of us carry inside.” And Chigozie Obioma, author of The Fishermen, says, “This is a monumental novel that brings something new and resonant to the classic American multi-generational family novel.”
To order Van Booy’s new book or one of Meredith Hall’s books, please visit Longfellow Books.
