About this Event

Ayelet Waldman presents A Perfect Hand
In conversation with Julie Orringer
Award-winning television producer (Unbelievable) Ayelet Waldman (author of Bad Mother, Kingdom of Olive & Ash, & more) presents A Perfect Hand, a richly drawn, captivating, and endlessly amusing novel of love and subterfuge between a lady’s maid and her clandestine lover, set in the country estates of nineteenth-century England. A deliciously funny, gorgeously detailed, utter enthralling novel which Geraldine Brooks calls "An amuse bouche of a novel with an astringent feminist bite", A Perfect Hand is a glorious novel of class, gender, and England on the cusp of enormous change. Waldman reads from and discusses the book with Julie Orringer, author of the upcoming novel Luna, Phoenix, Queen, before an audience Q&A and signing.
