Novelist and essayist Jesse Browner (The Uncertain Hour) launches his new, high-concept novel Sing to Me—offering an intimate vision of the most storied war in history, as seen through the eyes of a child. After the fall of Troy, an eleven-year-old boy sets off for the razed city when his father and sister vanish into the war zone... Some war stories transcend time and circumstance, and so it is with the resourceful and heartbroken Hani, who must employ every bit of intelligence, every scrap of ingenuity, and ultimately every ounce of his spirit and humor to withstand the forces of civilization’s collapse. Award-winning novelist Susan Minot (Monkeys and Evening) joins Browner for an in-depth discussion on the book, before an audience Q&A and signing.
