Lit at Lark Presents: Strong Female Characters! With Novelists Amy Sohn, Elisa Albert, and Lucinda Rosenfeld

Call it your literary antidote to the syrupy sentiments of Valentine’s Day: These three fabulous writers will knock your heart-covered socks off with their novels about strong female characters and the complications of love. As always, the event is free, Lark will offer a Happy Hour drink special just for us, and WORD will be selling books written by and recommended by our authors. Readings are followed by an informal, salon-style chat.
