On Wednesday, June 18th at 7 PM, Courtney Sullivan, the New York Times best-selling author of Commencement and Maine will share her new novel, The Engagements, a gorgeous, sprawling novel about marriage—about those who marry in a white heat of passion, those who marry for partnership and comfort, and those who live together, love each other, and have absolutely no intention of ruining it all with a wedding.  Hear her talk in the Keys Community Room (lower level) of the Milton Library, 476 Canton Avenue in Milton.  The free event, sponsored by the Friends of the Milton Library, is open to the public.

Courtney Sullivan grew up in Milton and The Engagements was one of People Magazine’s Top Ten Books of 2013 and an Irish Times Best Book of the Year. It is soon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon and distributed by Fox 2000, and it will be translated into 17 languages. Courtney’s writing has also appeared in The New York Times Book Review, The Chicago Tribune, New York magazine, Elle, Glamour, Allure, Real Simple, and the New York Observer, among many others. She is a co-editor, with Courtney Martin, of the essay anthology Click: When We Knew We Were Feminists. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
