Book Talk

Join our Book Talk discussion on Wednesday, July 16 at 6:30 pm as we discuss Claire Lombardo’s debut novel, The Most Fun We Ever Had.
Spanning nearly half a century, and set against the quintessential American backdrop of Chicago and its prospering suburbs, Claire Lombardo’s debut explores the triumphs and burdens of love, the fraught tethers of parenthood and sisterhood, and the baffling mixture of affection, abhorrence, resistance and the submission we feel for those closest to us. In painting this luminous portrait of a family’s becoming, Lombardo joins the ranks of writers such as Celeste Ng, Elizabeth Stout and Jonathan Franzen as visionary chroniclers of our modern lives.
