Fiona Davis is the New York Times bestselling author of five novels, The Dollhouse, The Address, The Chelsea Girls, and The Masterpiece. She will discuss her new novel The Lions of Fifth Avenue.

Join GCPL for a live virtual author talk with New York Times best-selling author Fiona Davis. 
She is the author of The Dollhouse, The Address, The Chelsea Girls, and The Masterpiece. Fiona will discuss her new book The Lions of Fifth Avenue. 

The year is 1913 and New York is the world's fastest growing city. Over a dozen daily newspapers are read by more than five million people. While immigrants live in stifling squalor on the Lower East Side, the lingering Gilded Age millionaires and new industrialists dispense extraordinary philanthropy. Two of the institutions they created一the New York Public Library and the Columbia Journalism School一play important roles in this new novel. 

While supplies last, books with autographed bookplates will be available at Eagle Eye Books. Mention "GCPL" when ordering a copy and get free shipping. 

You must register to join this program. Once registered, you will receive the Google Meet link prior to the day of the program.
