In 1925, Miss Nan O’Dea infiltrated the wealthy, rarefied world of author Agatha Christie and her husband, Archie. In every way, she became a part of their life––first, both Christies. Then, just Archie. Soon, Nan became Archie’s mistress, luring him away from his devoted wife, desperate to marry him. Nan’s plot didn’t begin the day she met Archie and Agatha.

At the Maison Hannon (for G. C.)
In just twenty seconds and twenty steps, you’ll fall for her. Because at your request for poetry, she’ll recite to you, from unblemished memory, twelve lines of Dante’s “Inferno” in her native Italian as you ascend the gilded staircase together. And by the time you reach the top, you’ll have plunged into her poetic forbear’s despair. For what words could you summon in your language to retrieve your heart from her own?
Silent Book Club of Central NJ
At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading. All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books... it's BYOBook. Our events are free. Friends and strangers gather at a set time and location and settle in for an hour of silent, sustained reading. At the end of the hour, attendees can socialize—or not!
Meetings of the Silent Book Club of Central New Jersey rotate throughout Middlesex, Mercer, and Somerset counties.
Sessions at East Brunswick Public Library will be held from 6-8:30pm, with quiet reading from 6:30-7:30.
The Hands of My Mother
Freckle-specked skin on the back of her hand with a wedding band and a solitaire diamond. On the fingers before hers, turquoise stones on silver. Before hers, plain gold. The hands of my mothers, working, fixing, making, smoothing, soothing. My thumb traces the skin of your hand and there I see ten fingers, pink nails, and freckle-specked skin on the back of your hand. Mine just like theirs, yours just like mine.
