Author Deborah Lee Luskin brings INTO THE WILDERNESS to Norwich Bookstore

“a perfectly gratifying read”

Author Deborah Lee Luskin will talk about her award-winning political novel, INTO THE WILDERNESS, at The Norwich Bookstore on June 23 at 7 pm.

In 1964, Rose Mayer buries her second husband and wonders what she’s going to do with the rest of her life. Reluctantly, she visits her son’t summer place in Vermont, where there are neither sidewalks, Democrats, nor other Jews. There is, however, the Marlboro Music Festival. It’s there that she meets Percy Mendell, and it’s dislike at first sight. Percy’s a born and bred Vermonter who has never married, never voted for a Democrat, and never left the state. After a satisfying career as the county’s agricultural agent, he’s facing retirement. He’s also struggling with his long-help political beliefs: Barry Goldwater is too extreme for the Vermont GOP. Both Percy and Rose are 64-years old and have given up on love. Set against the backdrop of Vermont’s changing politics and seasons, INTO THE WILDERNESS is a testament to the endurance of the human heart.
