MOLLY GLOSS
Wednesday, November 7 at 7 p.m. at Columbia City Branch, Seattle Public Library, 4721 Rainier Avenue S

Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Portland-based author and PEN/Faulkner Award finalist Molly Gloss makes this welcome return for Elliott Bay and the Seattle Public Library—which featured her as a "Seattle Reads" author, tonight for her newest, World War I-era novel, The Hearts of Horses (Houghton Mifflin). "A female broncobuster? It seems doubtful, but with most of the able-bodied men off fighting in World War I, Oregon rancher George Bliss decides to take a chance on Martha Lessen. Barely 19 year old, Martha has three times the natural horse sense as ore seasoned wranglers...Martha's tail end of the frontier adventures is chronicled in a delightfully down-home, matter-of-fact voice by the author of The Jump-Off Creek." - Martha Flanagan, Booklist. Free, no tickets necessary. The Columbia City Branch of the Seattle Public Library is located at 4721 Rainier Avenue South. For more information, please see www.spl.org or call (206) 386-4636.
