ASML Author Series: Ruta Sepetys

Forty languages, sixty countries, and a body of work built almost entirely out of the parts of history that got buried.

Ruta Sepetys comes to Wilton Library for the ASML Author Series. She is a number one New York Times bestselling writer of historical fiction and a genuine crossover novelist, read as widely by adults as by the teenagers her books are usually shelved for. Between Shades of Gray, Out of the Easy and Salt to the Sea have between them won or been shortlisted for more than forty prizes and appear on over sixty state award lists. Between Shades of Gray became the film Ashes in the Snow, and her other novels are in development for television and film. She won the Carnegie Medal, and she has presented on the power of history and literature to NATO, the European Parliament, the United States Capitol and embassies around the world.

Good to know. Free. Registration is required and opens on October 9 at 10am, so this one is worth a diary note. Sponsored by ASML.

Where to go. The Brubeck Room at Wilton Library, 137 Old Ridgefield Road.
