"Fall of Rome" author, Martha
Southgate, will read from her latest novel at two Brooklyn bookstores
this month, before setting off on a cross-country book tour.
Southgate, who lives in the Prospect Heights with her husband
and two children, will read from and sign copies of "Third
Girl From the Left" at Cobble Hill’s BookCourt on Sept.
8 at 7 pm and Brownstone Books in Bedford-Stuyvesant on Sept.
15 at 7 pm.
"Third Girl From the Left," to be released by Houghton
Mifflin Company on Wednesday, tells the stories of three generations
of African-American women: Tamara, a documentary filmmaker; her
mother, Angela, the "third girl from the left" in a
blaxploitation film; and her grandmother Mildred.
