‘View From Lake Como’ author event set July 21

The Lewes Public Library, AAUW of Delaware and Browseabout Books will host author Adriana Trigiani for a ticketed-event book discussion and signing at 5 p.m., Monday, July 21, in the Lewes Elementary School theater, 820 Savannah Road, Lewes.

Trigiani will discuss her new novel, “The View from Lake Como,” a hilarious story of a big-hearted Italian American family and their overlooked daughter, Jess. Divorced and living in her parents’ basement in New Jersey, Jess heads off on an adventure to her family's ancestral home in Italy. Just as she begins to stand on her own two feet and find happiness, hidden secrets of her family’s past come to light and threaten to upend the new life she is living on her own terms.

Trigiani will be in conversation with Rehoboth Beach writer and University of Delaware instructor Ethan Joella.
