Author Talk with Lauren Belfer

Inspired by historical events, the New York Times bestselling author of A Fierce Radiance and City of Light returns with a powerful new novel about two women, one European and one American, and the mysterious choral masterpiece by Johann Sebastian Bach that changes both their lives. Seamlessly melding past and present, Belfer’s compelling narrative resonates with emotion and immediacy. The Kinderhook Library will happily host Lauren, who is a friend of long-time Library supporters Kristina and Stephen Lang, as she talks about the real people who inspired the book, including Felix Mendelssohn and Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel.
