Author Ann Napolitano (pictured) will read
from her novel, "Within Arm’s Reach," at BookCourt
in Cobble Hill on June 29 at 8 pm. Her book about three generations
of an Irish-American family in New Jersey, inspired in part by
Napolitano’s own upbringing, will be published in paperback by
Three Rivers Press on June 28.
Napolitano’s "Within Arm’s Reach" is the story of the
unplanned pregnancy of 29-year-old Gracie and its impact on her
life, and those of her sister, mother, grandmother and others.
Despite the serious subject matter – the guilt-laden world of
multigenerational dynamics – Napolitano has been applauded in
the Library Journal for her "ample doses of humor and wit."
BookCourt is located at 163 Court St. at Dean Street in Cobble
Hill. For more information, call (718) 875-3677.
