Author Event: Anna Noyes, 'The Blue Maiden'

Author Event: Anna Noyes, 'The Blue Maiden' In-Person

The Blue Hill Public Library and Blue Hill Books are cosponsoring an author talk with Anna Noyes for her new novel The Blue Maiden on Friday, July 19 at 7:00PM in the library's Howard Room. 

 A Nordic Gothic laced with the horrors of life in a patriarchy both hostile to and reliant on its women, The Blue Maiden is a starkly beautiful depiction of lost lineage and resilience, following  two sisters growing up on an isolated Northern European island in the shadow of their late mother and the Devil.

Anna Noyes’ debut collection, Goodnight, Beautiful Women, was a finalist for the Story Prize and the New England Book Award, as well as a New York Times Editors’ Choice, Indie Next Pick, Barnes and Noble Discover Great New Writers Selection, and Amazon Best Book of the Month. She holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Her fiction has appeared in Vice, A Public Space, and Guernica, among others. She has received the Lotos Foundation Prize and the Henfield Prize, as well as residencies from MacDowell, Yaddo, Lighthouse Works, the James Merrill House, and Aspen Words. She lives in New York, on Fishers Island.

This program is free and open to all. For more information, please email Kayleigh at kayleigh.thomas@bhpl.net or call the library at 374-5515. Blue Hill Books will be on hand with copies of the book available for purchase.
