History Book Festival Presents: TaraShea Nesbit - Beheld

In collaboration with the History Book Festival, join us for a live, interactive talk with TaraShea Nesbit, author of Beheld, one of the books featured at the 2020 virtual History Book Festival. Ten years after the Mayflower Pilgrims established a colony based on the dream of religious freedom, Plymouth is led by fervent Puritans who prohibit residents from living, trading, and worshiping as they choose. The arrival of new colonists ratchets up the tension in this mystery novel that re-frames the story of the Pilgrims through the previously unheard voices of two women of very different status and means. This is a story about a murder and a trial that asks: whose stories get told over time, who gets believed, and who gets punished? TaraShea Nesbit is the author of the national bestseller The Wives of Los Alamos. She is an assistant professor and Altman Scholar at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Online program from the History Book Festival and the Lewes Public Library. Venue: Lewes Public Library.
