Book enthusiasts gathered at Wee Burn Country Club to hear bestselling author Ariel Lawhon speak about her latest novel, Frozen River. The sold-out event marked Darien Library’s 9th annual Novel Tea, a popular benefit that raises funds for the library’s extensive resources and helps with its “mission of education, entertainment, enrichment and community-building through compassionate service to all.” Page Berger of Barrett Bookstore moderated the discussion. In addition to her current book, Lawhon shared insights about her other historical fiction works, including I Was Anastasia and Code Name Hélène. darienlibrary.org.
