Join us for an evening with Marisa Silver, who is on tour for her new novel At Last (Simon & Schuster, published September 2025). Set in midcentury America, At Last explores a rich family saga centered on two fierce and competitive matriarchs whose intertwined lives reflect the complexities of family, tradition, and personal ambition. Marisa will be joined in conversation by author, essayist, and Glencoe resident Sally Schwartz. "Alive to what soars within so-called ordinary life and told in prose which exhilaratingly pursues and seizes the truths of marriage and family, At Last is an astounding achievement." -Megha Majumdar
