In conversation with Jean GreenlawFrom New York Times bestselling author Kate Quinn comes The Astral Library, a fantastical adventure that poses the question: Have you ever wished you could live inside a book? Welcome to the Astral Library, where books are not just objects, but doors to new worlds, new lives, and new futures.
Alexandria “Alix” Watson takes nightly refuge from her three dead-end jobs in the high-vaulted reading room at the Boston Public Library. One day, she stumbles through a hidden door and meets the Librarian: the ageless, acerbic guardian of a hidden library. Alix and the Librarian flee through the Regency drawing rooms of Jane Austen to the back alleys of Sherlock Holmes and the champagne-soaked parties of The Great Gatsby as danger draws inexorably closer.
Kate Quinn, a lifelong history buff, has written four novels in the Empress of Rome Saga, and two books set in the Italian Renaissance, before turning to the 20th century with The Alice Network, The Huntress, The Rose Code, The Diamond Eye, and The Briar Club.
