SUMMARY:Author Talk with David Florig: “The Shattered Curling Stone”
DESCRIPTION:Maine author David Florig will discuss his new novel\, The Shattered Curling Stone. The Shattered Curling Stone is a work of historical fiction\, centered around young Ailsa Maclaren\, who takes up curling at a time when women were neither encouraged\, nor often permitted\, to play the game. Set in late-1800s Scotland\, it tells Ailsa's story as she journeys from novice\, to the Scottish Women's Championship\, and the World Championship. The Shattered Curling Stone is steeped in the history of women's curling\, both real and fictional. Along the way\, Ailsa meets the very handsome and charming Lucas Plotcok\, and therein lies the tale... \n\n\n\nIf you've ever wanted to learn more about the 500-year-old Scottish sport of curling\, or are simply a fan of historical fiction and Scotland\, you won't want to miss this event. You will learn about the very special kind of ice used for curling\, and will get to see and feel the curling stone made from 60-million-year-old Scottish granite\, as well as a curling broom and shoes. \n\n\n\nThere will be readings from both the award-winning The Stones of Ailsa Craig and The Shattered Curling Stone\, Q&A\, and book signings. \n\n\n\nAlthough curling provides the context for both novels\, the books will appeal to fans of historical fiction and mysteries. The event will include readings\, a real curling stone\, Q&A\, and book signing. All ages are welcome.\n\n\n\nCopies of The Shattered Curling Stone will be for sale courtesy of Sherman's Maine Coast Bookshop. All sales the evening of the event benefit the Jesup. \n\n\n\nRegister to attend in-person or online here: https://www.jesuplibrary.org/events/david-florig
