I'm thrilled to be in conversation with former Chicago resident Emily Robbins about her debut novel, A Word for Love, an intense and gorgeous story of an American studying in Syria.

Come hang out on the night The Great Believers is first available! I'll be a nervous wreck and could use the company.

Please join me on the outskirts of Denver!
