Sofia Montrone presents Nymph, with Hilary Leichter

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Sofia Montrone to celebrate and discuss her new book Nymph; Call Me By Your Name meets Elena Ferrante in this debut coming-of-age novel about a young girl who spends summers working at her family’s timeworn Italian agriturismo, the tragedy that rends her life into “before” and “after,” and her romance with an American girl, which has unexpected consequences.

Sofia will be in conversation with Hilary Leichter, author of Terrace Story, and will be signing books after the talk.

Doors open at 6:30pm with the talk starting closer to 7pm. Come early and grab a drink from the !

Both tickets and books are available on eventbrite and at the door.
