Join Kenyon Women Giving Back and the Kenyon Virtual Book Club for a special conversation with author Rowan Beaird '09, featuring her novel "The Divorcées."
Set in 1950s Reno, Nevada, "The Divorcées" is a compelling work of historical fiction that explores the lives of women seeking independence and new beginnings at a "divorce ranch" similar to the Golden Yarrow, where women were required to establish a six-week residency in order to file for divorce.
During this event, Rowan will share insights into her creative process, the historical inspiration behind the novel, and the themes that shape her storytelling. She will also offer a preview of the stories she hopes to tell in the future. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with the author, explore the novel’s rich historical context and join a meaningful discussion with fellow readers.
In addition to this event, you may be interested in attending the next meeting of Kenyon's Virtual Book Club on Wednesday, April 22, at 7 p.m. ET where they will discuss "The Divorcées." This partner event is being brought to you by Kenyon Women Giving Back and the Kenyon Virtual Book Club.
