SUMMARY:Meet & Greet with Caroline Woods
DESCRIPTION:Join Midwestern author Caroline Woods at Blue House Books on Saturday\, August 16th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the paperback release of “The Mesmerist”\, a 2024 NPR Book of the Year! \nCaroline will be chatting with readers and signing books! Stop in anytime during the event to meet this fantastic Midwestern author and grab a signed copy of “The Mesmerist”\, a historical thriller that is as captivating as it is an honest review of women’s bodily autonomy and independence. It’s book is perfect for fans of “The Briar Club” and “The Lost Apothecary”! \nAbout THE MESMERIST: \n“Immersive and compelling . . . “The Mesmerist” will linger long after you turn the last page.” –NPR \nBefore hypnotism\, there was Mesmerism. In 1894 Minneapolis\, spiritualism of every stripe is all the rage\, and women are dying under mysterious circumstances. When a new guest arrives at the Bethany Home for Unwed Mothers\, refusing to speak\, the stories of unexplained deaths seem unconnected—until Faith’s suspicious reticence sets the house abuzz with whispers of dark magic. \nAbby\, the Bethany Home’s treasurer\, thinks the rumors swirling around Faith are nonsense\, but she recognizes the danger of a good story. Abby tasks Faith’s roommate\, May\, with tracing Faith’s path to the Bethany Home. Desperate to end her year at Bethany Home engaged and on track to her happily-ever-after\, May begins digging into Faith’s shadowy background. But the more May learns\, the more she’s forced to question the dubious motives of everyone around her\, and as the body count rises\, May must reevaluate her future\, and which lies she’s willing to tell\, for whom. Inspired by a true crime that rocked the nation\, Caroline Woods reimagines a classic American story through the eyes of three unforgettable women. \nAbout CAROLINE WOODS: \nCaroline Woods holds an M.F.A. in fiction from Boston University. She is the author of the novels “The Mesmerist”\, which was a 2024 NPR Book of the Year; “The Lunar Housewife”; and “Fräulein M”. She has taught fiction writing at Loyola University Chicago\, Boston University\, and the Boston Conservatory. \nRaised in Delaware\, she now lives in Riverside\, Illinois with her husband and two daughters.
