Do you love a good book, travel, wine, and yummy nibbles? Ever wish you could talk to the author about the book you just read? Join other booklovers in our school community for a discussion with local author and resident treasure, Ellen Sussman for an evening soiree to discuss her new book The Paradise Guest House and the craft of writing. Enjoy nibbles from Southeast Asia and be transported by a master storyteller. Set in Bali against the backdrop of the 2002 terrorist bombings, Amazon says The Paradise Guest House is "A riveting and poignant novel of one woman's journey to Bali in search of love, renewal, and a place to call home - perfect for readers of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love and Alex Garland's The Beach . Booklist says "A story of healing and redemption, of finding love in the most unexpected places, and of the importance of moving forward... a vivid, well-balanced portrait of a woman and a country working to recover from an unimaginable event and a very personal look at a global tragedy."
