The Friends of The Ferguson Library and Darien Library Present
An Evening with Bestselling Author Chris Bohjalian
In Conversation with Cristina Alger 
via Zoom Webinar 

New York Times bestselling author Chris Bohjalian returns to his deep New England roots with Hour of the Witch, a riveting novel of historical suspense. Set in 17th century New England on the eve of the Salem Witch Trials, Hour of the Witch is the twisting story of a young Puritan wife, Mary Deerfield, who petitions for divorce from her abusive husband - only to end up on trial for witchcraft. As a harsh winter descends and mass hysteria sweeps the New England coastline, Mary must race against the clock to convince a suspicious town ruled by the Puritanical fist of the Church to save her from her husband, or, more pressingly, the noose.

It's a timely historical novel about love, fear, feminine power, and the distrust of those in positions of power.

CHRIS BOHJALIAN is the #1 New York Times best-selling author of 22 books, including The Red Lotus, Midwives, and The Flight Attendant, which is an HBO Max limited series starring Kaley Cuoco. His other books include The Guest Room; Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands; The Sandcastle Girls; Skeletons at the Feast; and The Double Bind. His novels Secrets of Eden, Midwives, and Past the Bleachers were made into movies, and his work has been translated into more than 35 languages. He is also a playwright (Wingspan and Midwives). 

CRISTINA ALGER is the New York Times bestselling author of Girls Like Us, The Banker's Wife, The Darlings, and This Was Not the Plan. A graduate of Harvard College and NYU Law School, she worked as a financial analyst and a corporate attorney before becoming a writer. Alger lives in Connecticut with her husband and children. 

The program will include a Q & A with the authors.
