Books & Company and the Oconomowoc Public Library presents a special evening with Jennifer Chiaverini, who will discuss her new book, THE WORLD’S FAIR QUILT, an Elm Creek Quilts novel!
You can purchase a copy of THE WORLD’S FAIR QUILT from Books & Company in-store or online. Please register for this free event here.
Jennifer Chiaverini returns to the well-loved circle of Elm Creek Quilters to illuminate a nearly forgotten jubilant moment in women’s history during the trying years of the Great Depression. In chapters alternating between 2004 and 1933, Chiaverini stitches together a story of sisterhood and sibling rivalry, guilt and resentment, forgiveness and peace.
Affirming the power of women’s friendship and the importance of quilting, THE WORLD’S FAIR QUILT is a heartwarming addition to a series described as “like a strong cup of tea—cozy yet hard-hitting” (Booklist). At one point in the novel, Sylvia reflects, “If she had learned nothing else in her eighty-plus years, it was that she should choose hope.” That’s a timely message for us all.
