Author Winslow to speak at Bailey Library Aug. 24

WINTHROP – Author W.S. Winslow will give a talk at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 24, at Bailey Library, 39 Bowdoin St.
The talk will focus on Winslow’s debut novel “The Northern Reach,” published by Flatiron Books.
The website Boston.com recently praised the book for its “sweeping, haunted, hilarious and sad tales,” while Macmillan Publishers praised the novel in a review as a “breathtaking debut.” The book focuses on three families who reside in the fictional coastal town of Wellbridge, Maine.
Winslow was born and raised in Maine, but spent her working life in Boston, New York and San Francisco. A ninth-generation Mainer, she now lives Down East for most of the year.
