Myla Goldberg - The False Friend
Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Myla Goldberg, the bestselling, critically acclaimed author of Bee Season, will read from and sign her new novel The False Friend ($25.95 Doubleday). This astonishingly complex psychological drama has a simple setup: two eleven-year-old girls, best friends and fierce rivals, go into the woods—but only one comes out. A deeply resonant and emotionally charged story, The False Friend explores the adults that children become—leading us to question the truths that we accept or reject, as well as the lies to which we succumb.
