Book Group Oct 13: Agatha of Little Neon

by Claire Luchette

Hosted by Lighthouse Works

Join us on Wednesday, October 13th at 7:30 pm via Zoom* to talk with author and former Lighthouse Works fellow Claire Luchette about her new novel. It’s about four nuns who get reassigned to a halfway house in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. NPR’s Scott Simon calls it “a wry, insightful and remarkable debut novel.” Make sure to check out the entire interview on Morning Edition to learn more before we chat with Claire!

A handful of books are available on a first-come-first-serve basis at Lighthouse Works.
