New York Times bestselling author and advice columnist Daniel M. Lavery will read from his charming and funny debut novel about the residents of a women’s hotel in 1960s New York City, The Women’s Hotel.

“Lavery’s elegant, aching, and outright hilarious prose highlights the lives of these women as they find and lose jobs, upend their entire lives, make friends and forge bonds that, despite the transitory nature of the hotel, will last a lifetime. … Women’s Hotel is a prime example of mastery of a craft; readers will want to devour it in a single sitting.” — Booklist

“I cannot imagine a more perfect use of an afternoon than reading this book.” — Helen Rosner, The New Yorker
