The Friends of Weyenberg Library Fundraiser Luncheon at Shully's Cuisine & Events features beloved author Elizabeth Berg, author of novels like The Story of Arthur Truluv and Open House. Berg's new novel, the featured title for this event, is Life: A Love Story. It's a warm, intimate novel that reminds us of the richness that can be found all throughout our lives.
Tickets cost $95 plus fees, each ticket include lunch and a copy of Life: A Love Story.
As ninety-two-year-old Florence "Flo" Greene nears the end of her life, she writes a letter to Ruthie, the woman who grew up next door to her. On the surface, Flo describes all the things she will be leaving Ruthie in her will. But as the letter goes on, telling surprising stories about the “little” things Flo will leave behind, an unforgettable portrait of the life she has lived emerges. Full of Berg's characteristic mix of warmth, humor and poignancy, Life: A Love Story is a reminder that whatever your circumstances, as long as you're alive, you can keep on investing in life. The joy will inevitably follow.
Daniel Goldin says: "Berg’s latest highlights her gifts as a writer of small graces, gentle humor, and philosophical musings."
