ONE BOOK NAPA - Meet the Author

Meet Bug Hollow author Michelle Huneven at ONE BOOK NAPA, a Napa Valley Writers’ Conference (NVWC) partnership with the Napa County Public Library and Napa Bookmine.

Named a Best Book of the Year by Kirkus and Oprah Daily, Bug Hollow is a decades-spanning family saga featuring the messy but loving Samuelson clan trying to make sense of the world after one event changes their lives forever.

“Bug Hollow captures the unpredictability of life . . . Right down to its final moments, Huneven casually offers up little revelations that crunch as sweet and tart as pomegranate seeds.” —Ron Charles, Washington Post

“Bug Hollow instantly seduces even the most news-addled reader with its lovely, lucid prose, its spot-on period details and superb gift for description . . . Huneven remains a compassionate guide through the secrets and lies, betrayals and chance encounters, losses and disappointments that buffet this broken and remade family over time.” —Helen Schulman, New York Times Book Review
Paperback copies of Bug Hollow are available at Napa Bookmine!
